CLEARANCE SALE: This title is available at the sale price only while stocks last.Meditations and Catechesis on the Psalms and Caticles of Morning Prayer.
In this series of Catecheses John Paul II devotes himself to promoting the Liturgy of the Hours as a prayer of the whole People of God, "a prayer that presupposes an appropriate catechetical and biblical formation, if it is to be fully savoured."
The Holy Father offers original and illuminating reflections on each of the psalms and canticles leading the reader to deeper meditation and understanding. The Psalms and Canticles of the four week cycle of Morning Prayer are also reproduced here for convenience.
These reflections will prove an invaluable companion to those who pray the breviary or simply love the scriptures. "We will use various approaches to understand the Psalms... their literaary structure, their authors, the contexts in which they were composed... and consider the various sentiments of the human heart expressed in them: joy, gratitude, thanksgiving, love, tenderness, enthusiasm, but also intense suffering, complaint, pleas for help and for justice. Together we will learn ...the great 'key' to understanding the Psalms as Christ himself" (Blessed John Paul II)
