SynopsisSomething seems to have gone wrong with prayer. Prayer is a gift to us from God. It is designed to bring life, hope, peace and joy. But it has become, for many people, something burdensome, predictable, even tedious. When this happens we may find ourselves praying without awe, without joy, without honesty and often without hope. Most importantly, we may find ourselves praying without a sense of the Love who is at the heart of prayer.What if prayer is not something we do because we need to communicate with a god-who-is-far-away? What if it is the endless movements of grace coming from the heart of the God-who-is-near? What if prayer is God calling to us, God singing over us, God putting words to our suffering when we cannot find words to speak? What if prayer is God offering to forgive us, change us and free us. What if prayer is God inviting us into the heart of Divine Love? What if prayer is not just another opportunity for us to perform but our response to the flow, the dance, of the call of Love? What if the heart of prayer is our surrender to Love, our consent to allow Love to transform us? An Enduring Embrace: Experiencing the Love at the Heart of Prayer is a book of meditations on biblical texts accompanied by suggestions for ways to respond to the experience of the Love of God. It is designed to open windows and doors in our hearts so that we can pray in the light of God's Love-so that we can breathe in more deeply the Love of God and breathe it out more meaningfully to others.
