Patterns of Prayer by Eugene McCaffrey, OCD

A seasoned retreat leader, he has written a guide to prayer that is rich in encouragement. Inside you will find inspiration from well known spiritual masters as Teresa of Avila, Teilhard de Chardin, and T. S. Eliot. These quotations are then a jumping - off point for presenting prayer from several different angles: discovery, God's presence, listening, contemplative meditation, awareness, friendship, petition, and compassion. "Father Eugene McCaffrey offers us a gem in this little book...Only from a lifetime of prayer could these reflections come". Bishop Ahern.
