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.

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 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.

The Prayer of Jesus explores the unique experience of the fatherhood of God, whom Jesus calls Abba — which in his native Aramaic language means "Dad." Throughout his earthly life, Jesus is in constant dialogue with Abba. From his Baptism in the Jordan through his public ministry and ultimately his crucifixion, this relationship will mark him forever, transforming his life and our lives, too.
