Practicing the Prayer of St. Francis

About this book

If you practice the Prayer of St. Francis faithfully, it will change your life. If you desire to undertake a spiritual journey, to be shaped and formed in the image of Christ, this book will point the way as you examine three powerful spiritual practices that center this prayer: Sowing, Seeking, and Seeing. Each chapter includes a short meditation, a personal story or two, references to Scripture, suggestions for practicing what we pray, and questions for reflection and discussion. This format is intended for personal devotions or small-group settings for Christians of all ages and faith stages. Part I: Sowing, investigates what it means to sow seeds of peace in hard soil, and what spiritual practices we can employ to bring about a fruitful harvest. Part II: Seeking, offers some spiritual practices that will assist us in our work and shape us as we strive to put others before ourselves, as hard as that can be for all of us at one time or another. And Part III: Seeing, reflects on what it means to remember God's goodness and grace as they come full circle, and how expressions of gratitude can be a powerful spiritual discipline for all of us as we strive to make our way home.
