The Psalter is the quintessential book of the Bible, meant for prayerful pause and contemplative silence. This little guide to the Psalms is divided into four sections: A general reflection on prayer, the breath of the soul - A panoramic look at the texts of the psalms - A portrait of the two protagonists, God and the worshiper, but also of the intrusion of the presence of evil - An anthology of brief commentaries on the psalms most dear to tradition and the liturgy In preparation for the Ordinary Jubilee of 2025, the Exploring Prayer series delves into various dimensions of prayer in the Christian life. These brief, accessible books can help you learn to dialogue with God and rediscover the beauty of trusting in the Lord with humility and joy.
