Praying the Passion: Living the Gospel : Scriptural Reflections for Adult Believers

as new unused

This book has one purpose: to assist adult believers in praying the gospel message, with special emphasis on the narratives of Christ's passion. Each concise reflection invites the reader/pray er to grow in gospel knowledge and spiritual insight. The reflections would also serve well as a source for a Holy Week retreat or for fruitful preaching during Holy Week. Malcolm Cornwell draws on both the power of his community charism and his strong interest in biblical/liturgical spirituality to represent a new and prayerful perspective on the timeless stories of the Lord's passion and death. Practical suggestions for prayer and guided reflection follow each chapter, and a short bibliography points the way to further reading and reflection.?This slender book reflects prayerfully on each of the passion narratives, relating the evangelist's message to the liturgical currents of Holy Week. Those looking for solid spiritual reading, as well as homilists and liturgical planners, will appreciate the reflective pastoral spirit of this study.? The Bible Today
