Praying to God as a Friend

The genius of St Alphonsus lies in his realization that all people everywhere are seeking intimacy with God. In his writings, St Alphonsus never tires of presenting the God who loves beyond anything that we can imagine. His aim is 'to back us into a corner' with such proof of God's love that we will learn to respond spontaneously to the God who calls us friend.

St Alphonsus believes that people learn to pray by praying. Instead of long explanations, you will find brief instructions and examples of intimate prayer with God. This booklet treats:

* Prayer as friendship with God
* Praise for the Gifts of Creation
* Praying in the Presence of God
* Prayer's for God's Forgiveness
* Seeking the Consolation of God
* Praying with Confidence in God
