The Prayer of the Presence of God

Beskrivelse

For nearly a thousand years, monks of the Carthusian Order have
withdrawn from the world so they can place themselves in the presence of
God.

Alone in their cells, they pray, work, and take their meals,
freed from worldly distractions and the cacophony of thoughts that
course through your mind and mine, when, at the end of busy days, we
finally kneel down to pray.

A thousand years’ silence has enabled
the Carthusians to perfect a way of praying suited for the cloister, but
it’s also right for those of us whose obligations force us to work and
pray in the rush and hurry of the world.

In these pages, the monk
Augustin Guillerand reveals the secret of the Carthusian’s remarkable
prayer of the presence of God. Obviously, this way of praying excludes
quick Our Father’s and hasty Hail Mary’s, but it also requires that we
do more than pause and say our prayers slowly.
