Prayers for Catholics Experiencing Divorce by Rabior, William; Bedard, Vicki .

God walks with those treading the painful pathways of divorce. In this updated and revised edition of Prayers for Catholics Experiencing Divorce are forty-four prayers to help Catholics experiencing divorce heal the hurt as they draw closer to God. Here is powerful support as they rediscover themselves and their self-worth. If you are a Catholic going through a divorce, you may find it difficult to pray. Misconceptions about prayer, a sense of a neglected relationship with God, and feelings of confusion make it hard to pray at a time when prayer may be exactly what is needed. Together, Vicki Wells Bedard -- who has experienced divorce first-hand -- and William E. Rabior -- a popular author and an experienced social worker -- help Catholics caught in the turmoil of divorce express their heartfelt cries to God. The authors present prayers that read like contemporary psalms, that bring readers' fears and hopes to the Lord. This book guides you in prayer, helps you express even elusive thoughts and feelings, and leads you into the arms of an understanding and accepting God.
