Prayer, the Great Means of Grace

 General Description:

According to the great St. Alphonsus Liguori (a Doctor of the Church), our choice between Heaven and Hell depends on whether or not we pray.  And St. Teresa of Avila wanted to stand on a high mountain to cry out constantly to the world: "Pray, pray, pray!"

This small book, full of Catholic teaching, Scriptural wisdom and the words of the saints, shows how our lowly prayers of petition - particularly the Our Father and the Hail Mary - obtain for us temporal and eternal blessings, and are the keys to the treasures of God.  It affirms that prayer is something that should be done especially by sinners.  It explains that no one, no matter how holy, can merit the all-important grace of a good death (final perseverance in the state of grace) - but that this grace can be infallibly obtained from God by prayer.  It explains why God sometimes seems not to hear our prayers and how best ot have our prayers heard by Him.

Full of interesting surprises, encouragement and hope, Prayer - The Great Means of Grace will open minds and hearts to the amazing role of prayer in obtaining everything that we need - and even more than we ask.
