A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The language of the Psalms is the language of the kingdom of God. As poetry of prayer, this language sometimes lifts us to the heights of adoration and gladness. Sometimes it helps us to verbalize our anxieties and doubts. Above all, the book of Psalms also called the Psalter is a language that tells us what is true, both about ourselves and about God. For two thousand years the Psalms have held a special place in the church's worship of God and have been used as a method of daily prayer in the Liturgy of the Hours. This book is intended for use as a prayer book or a breviary for individuals who are not able to participate on a daily basis in the public prayers of churches or monastic communities. The psalms are time-honored prayers that can speak to the circumstances in which we find ourselves on any specific day. The Community of Jesus is an ecumenical monastic community in the Benedictine tradition and the psalms in this book follow the daily use of the Community of Jesus during ordinary time. All 150 psalms are included in this four-week cycle, with a few included more than once. Our hope is that this volume of prayers will enrich your prayer life and bring ever-increasing praise to God.
