In the book of Thessalonians, Christ urges us to pray without ceasing,but when we try to do so, most of us simply cease without praying. We’re distracted by troubles or duty or we quit because it’s late already and we’re tired.  Written nearly a century ago, and used since then by generations of grateful Catholics, this no-nonsense prayer manual dispels the false notions of prayer we all have and shows how we can, in fact, pray without ceasing — even at times when exhaustion cripples us and cares threaten to sweep us away. Drawing on the experience of dozens of saints, Fr. Raoul Plus here explains sure ways we can recollect ourselves before prayer so that once we begin to pray, our prayers will be richer and more productive. He teaches us how to practice interior silence habitually, even in the rush and noise of the world. * The result? Even in the midst of busy days, we're soon able topray always by keeping our wills united to God even when our minds must be directed elsewhere. In a word, How to Pray Always is one of those rare books that actually fulfills the promise of its title: in just over a hundred pages, it shows us how to love God and to live prayerfully and constantly in His loving presence.
