"How important it is for us to try to grow with Jesus and increase our knowledge and love of Him. This book is meant to do exactly that. These prayers will help you understand how Christians throughout the ages have lifted their hearts and minds to Jesus Christ." — Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R.
I encourage you to read this book of prayer put together by Fr. Groeschel, to keep it on your desk, or by your bed. One of the great treasures of our faith are the prayers of those who have loved and followed Jesus throughout the centuries. It is so encouraging to understand that we are never alone in this journey. We have so "great a cloud of witnesses", and in this book by Fr. Groeschel, we have some of their thoughts and prayers. These kind of collections bring such depth to our walk, why in the world would we not want to read and meditate on anything that exists only to bring us closer to Jesus, our Beloved? In this moment, think of your favorite Saint, now ask him or her to help you be more devoted to Jesus, as they were while they walked through this valley of tears. You my be surprised by the results of their prayers for you.
