40 prayers with the first Apostles

After "40 prayers of life" and "40 prayers of the Gospel", this new book immerses our prayer in the Acts of the Apostles.

True to the spirit of this collection, the author retains the taste for reading our daily life today through the prism of that of the first Christians who were also confronted with an indifferent or often hostile society.

Illustrated with various contemporary works of art, these prayers are always simple and in everyday language. Every reader inevitably sets himself in motion to the rhythm of these beautiful phrases chiseled with grace and poetry, like so many hymns that each can amplify by adding his own experience as a Christian or simply as a man and woman.

"In meditating on these prayers, we are invited to raise our eyes to heaven, not to wait for some return of a bygone age, but to welcome the power of the Spirit that makes us witnesses of the Invisible," the Bishop of Séez rightly declares in his preface...

Jacques Roger, parish priest of Saint-Martin-en-Ouche in the diocese of Séez, is concerned with keeping together attention to the lives of people and welcoming the Good News of Jesus. This third volume follows "401 prayers of life" and "40 prayers of the Gospel" (published by the same publishers, 2003 and 2004). These works contribute to keeping Christian memory alive and to proposing the faith in today's society.
