For many, prayer is a central aspect of daily life, but it isn\u2019t always easy. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s why Fr. James Martin wrote his latest book, \u201cLearning to Pray, a Guide for Everyone\u201d. It\u2019s aim is to accompany readers through the experience of prayer. <\/p>\n
REV. JAMES MARTIN, SJ The book is a resource for anyone looking to grow closer to God, as well as for those who may simply not know how to engage in prayer. <\/p>\n REV. JAMES MARTIN, SJ Drawing from his own experience as a Jesuit, Fr Martin explores the different ways one can form a relationship with God through prayer. <\/p>\n \u201cLearning to Pray\u201d is a comprehensive guide to prayer that seeks to make the practice of prayer accessible to everyone. <\/em><\/p>\n REV. JAMES MARTIN, SJ The idea of prayer as part of an interpersonal relationship with God, is just one of the insights presented in the book \u2013 which is truly, as the title says: \u201cA Guide for Everyone\u201d. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 26, 2021. \u201cLearning to Pray, a Guide for Everyone\u201d accompanies readers through the experience of prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":14446,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ARw1PfSqzDA","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bmartinbookeng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bmartinbookint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45476"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\n\u201cThe book is different from other books on prayer in that it really tries to talk about what happens when you pray. So many books on prayer can unfortunately be a little vague and talk about the fruits of prayer or feeling close to God, when what people really want to know is what happens when I close my eyes. What\u2019s really supposed to go on?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s especially important today because so many people I think are desiring prayer or desiring a relationship with God without a whole lot of instruction or a whole lot of knowledge on how to go about that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Author, \u201cLearning to Pray, a Guide for Everyone\u201d
\n\u201cWhen I say everyone can pray, I really mean it, that God seeks a relationship with everyone, and I think all of us can experience that and can know that because we all have a desire for prayer, we have a desire to be in connection, be in a relationship with God. And I would say that that desire comes from God, that\u2019s the way that God has of drawing us closer to God, and so that desire for prayer is really God\u2019s desire for you, and that\u2019s the case for everyone.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
