Prayer and Intelligence & Selected Essays

Prayer and Intelligence & Selected Essays

Authored by Jacques and RaÃ¯ssa Maritain, Prayer and Intelligence is a practical book about mental prayer and how to pray. It is also a book about the intellectual life. How does our intellectual search for God influence our life of prayer and how does the discipline of a life of prayer act as the necessary grounding for a profound and sustained search for the truth? In the pages of this book, philosophy and the spiritual life intertwine and strengthen each other. Accompanying Prayer and Intelligence are two essays, Liturgy and Contemplation, also written by Jacques and RaÃ¯ssa together, and Notes on the Lordâ€™s Prayer, written by RaÃ¯ssa. The former is a study of how the Churchâ€™s liturgy prepares for our union with God by contemplation of love. The latter is a powerful meditation on the great gift of the prayer of Christ himself, â€œthe prayer that is universally true and needed.â€ All three of the works contained in this volume are written by friends, for friends, seeking to know and love God. If we wish to grow in our spiritual life, this book serves as a great guide.
