Catholic Prayers

The Words We Pray is a collection of essays on the prayers listed below – traditional Catholic prayers. In

the book, I make the case for praying these prayers, suggesting that there is great value in joining our own hearts to the prayers of the Scriptures and of the saints. They’re a little bit of history and a little bit personal reflection. It’s probably my favorite of all the books I’ve written.
