Book Description

Publication Date: May 2003

Christoph Cardinal Schonborn Christoph Cardinal Schonborn, the editor of the monumental Catechism of the Catholic Church, a world-wide best seller, provides a brief and profound commentary on the fourth part of the Catechism, the Paths of Prayer. Schonborn gives an incisive, detailed analysis of the Paths of Prayer, providing a specific meditation for each week of the year on how to develop a deeper life of prayer, as explained in the Catechism. Through these 52 meditations, Schonborn's hope is for the reader not just to have a better grasp of Catholic prayer in its various forms, with a special emphasis on the Lord's Prayer. This book will aid one's growth in a greater love of and devotion to the Person of Jesus Christ. "In prayer there are joys that cannot be compared with any other joy, and at the same time prayer is a constant struggle. But in either case we do not do it alone: we pray as members of a great praying community - and it is much larger than we can suspect - and we do not struggle alone to pray. Many invisible helpers - in heaven and here on earth - are with us and assist us." - Christoph Cardinal Schonborn "Deserves wide circulation. No one is better qualified than Schonborn to write on how the Catechism is to be lived. An indispensable companion to the Catechism." - Fr. John Hardon, S.J., Author, A Treasury Of Catholic Wisdom Christoph Cardinal Schonborn, Archbishop of Vienna, Austria, is a Dominican priest who, in addition to editing the Catechism of the Catholic Church, is the author of numerous books including Loving the Church and Introduction to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
