9781592762385: The Questioner's Prayer

Synopsis

Some of the most sincere prayers we can address to God are, 'Why, God?,'When, God?', 'How, God?' Facing our ignorance and lack of understanding is the basis of any ongoing prayer dialogue with God. Consider what happens when we're facing a life crisis death, illness, or loss and the only kind of prayer we're capable of is a string of questions flung to heaven. But we can also feel free to ask questions of God in everyday prayer as we look to him for motivation, inspiration, and understanding. An experienced pastor currently serving as Bishop of Charleston, South Carolina, Bishop Robert J. Baker says a question put to God can be a real sign of faith and trust, especially when we bring those questions to prayer. This unique aid to prayer and meditation will guide you to the core of your relationship with God and your understanding of his plan for you.

À propos de l'auteur

Robert J. Baker (b. June 4, 1944 Willard, Ohio) is an American Roman Catholic prelate who serves as the Bishop of the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama. He was appointed to this post by Pope Benedict XVI on August 14, 2007 and installed on October 2, 2007. He has written several books. He was ordained for the diocese of St Augustine in 1970 and sent to Rome for doctoral studies in dogmatic theology shortly thereafter. He has served in turns as a parish priest, campus minister and seminary formator before being tapped to lead the Diocese of Charleston in 1999. As bishop of Charleston, Baker presided over rapid growth, thanks to a combination of adult converts, (the state's Catholic population boomed by almost 40% to over 175,000 during his tenure). He also dedicated new or expanded churches, schools and parish facilities has been both the imperative and the norm. The Diocese of Charleston bishopric was filled Jan. 24, 2009 by Bishop-Elect Msgr. Robert E. Guglielmone, formerly rector of St. Agnes Cathedral of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York.
