Wisdom from Peter Kreeft

 
 
 

I am now going to tell you about the shortest, simplest, and most powerful prayer in the world. It is called the ‘Jesus Prayer’, and it consists simply in uttering the single word ‘Jesus’ (or ‘Lord Jesus’, or ‘Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner’) in any situation, at any time and place, either aloud or silently.

—Peter Kreeft

from his book, Prayer for Beginners

GREATER INTIMACY

Peter Kreeft brings his unique insights to this most important area of our spiritual lives. He claims he himself is still a beginner in prayer, and this book is for all those, like him, who feel that they are not good at praying but desire to become much better at it. Thus, Kreeft offers simple, but profound advice and practical steps for developing a prayer life based on the time-tested wisdom of the saints and great spiritual writers.
