THE WAY OF THE CARMELITES : A Prayer Journey through Lent (2017)

McCaffrey, James OCD. A Prayer Journey through Lent. 87pp PBK

For Carmelites, prayer is friendship with God in a silent communion of love. By fixing our eyes on the vulnerability of Jesus and on his unrequited love for us, we are transformed. For a life permeated by closeness to him, contemplation becomes the source of action.

This beautifully written book, replete with reflections on the Bible, is a spiritual companion and guide for Lent - and the rest of the year - that will introduce readers to the riches of the Carmelite tradition. It also includes questions at the end of each chapter that enable us to follow the profound and practical way of the Carmelites.
