How to Pray Always

How to Pray Always

by Fr. Raoul Plus, SJ
144 pp. paperback

Christ urges us to pray without ceasing, but when we try to do so, many of us simply cease without praying. We’re distracted by troubles or duty, or we quit just because it’s late already and we’re tired. Fr. Raoul Plus’s no-nonsense prayer manual, How to Pray Always, remedies these problems by dispelling the false notions of prayer we all have and by showing how we can, in fact, pray without ceasing, even at times when exhaustion cripples us and cares threaten to sweep us away. Drawing on the experience of dozens of saints, Fr. Plus explains sure ways we can recollect ourselves before prayer so that once we begin to pray, our prayers will be richer and more productive; he teaches us how to practice interior silence habitually, even in the rush and noise of the world; and he explains each of the kinds of prayer and shows when we should – and should not – employ each. Raoul Plus, S.J. (1882-1958) wrote more than forty books to help Christians understand God’s love for the soul. His works stress the vital role of prayer in the spiritual life and show how you can live the truths of the faith.
