The Psalter is the quintessential book of the Bible, meant for prayerful pause and contemplative silence. This little guide to the Psalms is divided into four sections:
- A general reflection on prayer, the breath of the soul
- A panoramic look at the texts of the psalms
- A portrait of the two protagonists, God and the worshiper, but also of the intrusion of the presence of evil
- An anthology of brief commentaries on the psalms most dear to tradition and the liturgy
In preparation for the Ordinary Jubilee of 2025, the Exploring Prayer series delves into various dimensions of prayer in the Christian life. These brief, accessible books can help you learn to dialogue with God and rediscover the beauty of trusting in the Lord with humility and joy.

Prayer Today: A Challenge to Overcome (Exploring Prayer)
Saints are people of authentic prayer, and authentic prayer inflames with a fire of love. Only in this way is it possible to lift the world and bring it near to the heart of God. To pray in truth, we must present ourselves before God with the open wounds of our smallness and our sin, allowing our encounter with God be one of liberation and redemption.

The Prayer of Mary and the Saints (Exploring Prayer)
When Mary has appeared anywhere in the world, the locations of her apparitions have points in common with the biblical places where she stayed and lived. This book reviews these places, examining what they reveal to us about Mary's identity and what the inner spaces are that Mary asks us to dwell in today. This book also explores the unique relationship Saint Catherine Labouré and Saint Bernadette each had with Mary, leading us toward a new, deep revelation of Mary's closeness to each of us.

Parables on Prayer (Exploring Prayer)
What characterizes, in a singular way, Jesus's teaching on prayer is the recourse to parables. Jesus did not invent a new system for praying. Jesus was not a hermit, a Buddhist monk, or a yogi. He instead chose the daily life of his people to teach prayer with parables. This book explores the parables in the Gospels explicitly related to prayer, with Jesus as your guide.

Praying with Saints and Sinners (Exploring Prayer)
The saints whose writings on prayer and meditation are explored in this book are among the most celebrated in the great spiritual tradition. The aim of this book is to discover what help the great saints can offer those of us who desire to make progress in the life of prayer but who find ourselves being constantly deflected from our purpose, our tentative efforts undermined perhaps most of all by human weakness.
