FRANCISCAN PRAYER
By ~ Ilia Delio, OSF
"By examining Saint Francis' doctrine of prayer through the twin lens of Saints Clare and Bonaventure, this book provides us with a long overdue spiritual and theological synthesis which will be treasured by all who love the Franciscan tradition. A significant contribution, beautifully presented." ...Lawrence S. Cunningham, University of Notre Dame. An ideal nine chapter on-going formation spiritual journey for individuals or groups. "Everyone, says Delio, seems to know about Francis' life, his miracles, his devotion to evangelization and his dedication to living a simple and humble life, yet few know about his prayer life, which seemed, over the centuries, to get lost in the paper shuffle between theologians, followers and historical biographer." "Delio also uses the insights of St. Bonaventure and St. Clare as well as St. Francis to fully show the meaning and purpose of prayer in the Franciscan tradition." Masterfully written and intensely enlightening, FRANCISCAN PRAYER could very well be considered the essential-handbook for all those seeking to pray and live the Franciscan way. Each chapter closes with a meditation and discussion questions for individual use or group sharing. Each chapter has extensive notes.
