A companion to the best-selling Daily Prayers for Busy People, this new volume offers a four-week cycle of morning, midday, and evening prayers that are evocative, challenging, and draw on the Bible and passages from other great works of literature. Though composed primarily for personal use, the prayers have a message that sustains one for the whole day and could readily be used by any gathering of faith.
The busier we are, the more we need to withdraw awhile to remind ourselves of what is important, to keep our heads straight and pointing in the right direction... The goal of these prayers is connecting with and resting in God, not trying to learn anything or to make 'progress in the spiritual life.' Remember, God will lead us as God will ..." (from the introduction). Using the Bible, passages from other great works of literature, and evocative original prayers, William O'Malley, SJ, has composed a four-week cycle of daily morning, midday, and evening prayers. The prayers may be said quickly, but each one provides a rich source for further meditation.
"This colllection in the concrete a methodology and even a theology of prayer. Priests and laity will profit enormously from reading it and reflecting on the theology and practicing the method and praying the prayers"....Andrew M. Greeley
While compiling these pages, I particularly had in mind those individuals who have not as yet been able to establish a regular habit of daily prayer. During my long ministry, many good folk have confided that apart from spontaneous "spot prayers" during a day, set times for prayer are not common. Yet they say they feel guilty about this deficiency... Maybe you are in a similar situation? If so, this book might be of help to you.
Beloved author Deacon Greg Kandra knows all too well what it is to be busy. Drawing from his own experience and those of fellow Catholics and the saints’ lives, Deacon Kandra helps us realize the importance of prayer and offers practical tips for making it a part of each day. Prayer includes regular participation in the sacraments (Mass, Confession) but is also about a constant communication with God and a way to plan our day each morning and evaluate our progress each evening. How is God showing us to spend our time? What can we do to be less busy and make room for God? This book answers these questions.

After the publication of her best-selling book To Begin Again, Naomi Levy received a flood of feedback from readers telling her how much the prayers in it had helped and moved them. Many urged her to publish a collection of her prayers—and now she has. In a time when we all need inspiration, comfort, and connection, Talking to God will help us reclaim prayer as an integral part of our lives, making it as natural and uninhibited as talking to our loved ones. Prayer is essential to the lives of millions, but many of us are searching for ways to supplement traditional prayers with ones that are less formal and more intimate. Written in a simple and direct style, the prayers in this book—and the wonderful stories that accompany them—are for people of all faiths, and for all occasions large and small. Naomi Levy’s personal prayers address the anxieties and roadblocks we all face in contemporary life. There are prayers for facing a new day, realizing one’s potential at work, celebrating an anniversary or birthday, and going to sleep at night. And there are prayers for the more profound occurrences in life—love and marriage, pregnancy and childbirth, illness, loss, and death. Rabbi Levy’s words, imbued with grace and empathy, touch on the entire range of human experience. Many of us will recognize ourselves in her prayers and stories and will be comforted by them, as well as challenged and uplifted. Perhaps most important, they are stepping-stones for us to go on and create our own prayers, to find meaning in our own lives, and to begin or renew our own relationships with God.
