Everything exists within God. When we grasp this reality, prayer ceases to be something formal and institutional and becomes something everyday and wondrously ordinary. There is no part of life that cannot be offered to God.

Every breath we take, word we say, and action we do is lived in the presence of God and can be shared with God. This is good news for all who decide to explore the mysterious country of prayer, where everyone is a pilgrim, none is an expert, and God calls us to a lifelong journey of discovery.

Herbert O'Driscoll's gentle and illuminating insights, together with Patricia Bays's suggestions for personal exploration, make this a special book for reading, reflection, or group study any time, and especially during Lent.
