In the present volume, Adrienne von Speyr offer a series of meditative reflections on the foundation, nature, and practice of prayer. Although she approaches her subject from a variety of angles, her basic intuition remains the same: In prayer, we receive a share in the intra-divine conversation. She illustrates this insight with reference to the Prophets, Our Lady, and the saints, as well as to the communion of all who pray in the Church. This is a book meant not just for those advanced in prayer, but also for beginners who wish to enter into the world of prayer for the first time.
