What does it mean to "pray with a passionate heart?" In this book, authors Meehan and Oliver answer that praying with a passionate heart means opening oneself up to Divine Love and seeing the ever-present touch of God in the meanderings of daily events. It means learning to feel, think, and experience with the whole of one's being all that life is. And it means using imagination and feelings to commune intimately with God and with all that God has created and loved. By using prayer therapies, directed meditations, and scriptural illuminations, Praying With a Passionate Heart shows readers not only how to "tune in" to God but also how to "fall in love" with God. Within these pages, readers will also experience deep love with others, live joyfully each day, share openly with God, forgive and ask forgiveness, let go of fear, and commune with prayer companions.

the practical easy to use activities and exercises enhance family prayer, clarify family values, foster harmony and help families experience gods presence in their daily routines.

No words, no language about God can ever fully reflect the divine mystery. The "loving Father" image is the one with which children are most familar. This book helps children experience another metaphor for God. Its songs, stories, pictures, prayers, and activities introduce children to the nurturing, tender care of Mother God, who loves them unconditionally.
