Awakening
to Prayer
Clare Wagner, OP
God calls you to live, and to live abundantly. But you can never
be fully alive if you are not fully awake to God. This is the challenge Clare
Wagner sets out in Awakening to Prayer: A Woman’s
Perspective: to be completely aware of God’s presence
in your day-to-day life. As you rush from one task to the next, one appointment to another,
you may not stop to recognize the countless ways the Sacred reveals
itself. Wagner invites you to slow down, take a deep breath and
begin to notice and contemplate all the ways God chooses to communicate
with you.
