World Religion Prayers

At times, our chaotic world reveals hints of the utter brokenness in which we live, like a peek behind the veneer. As people of faith in a powerful God, we want to lift our faces to heaven to cry out or bury our face in our hands to whisper prayers. Either way we utter things like “God, please help,” “God, what are you doing?” “God, those people are terrible!” And we aren’t alone in those words we lift to heaven. In fact, our frustrating and exhausting experience with chaos, injustice, and corruption is much like that of the distressed prophet Habakkuk in the Old Testament.

"Prayers for Peace in the World" is a heartfelt plea for peace through prayer. This book seeks the intercession of important Catholic figures, such as St. Francis of Assisi, known for his message of reconciliation during the Fifth Crusade, and St. Catherine of Siena, who worked tirelessly to reconcile warring factions in Italy. Through their intercession and that of others like St. Teresa of Calcutta and various Popes, this book aims to ask for peace so that Jesus Christ may grant us the serenity and unity we so desperately need.

Few authors have attempted to universalize lectio using contemporary language or approach it from a Franciscan perspective.

Instead James here shows how our culture's narrow definitions of manhood are upended when we consider the examples of men in the Bible and Jesus' gospel.
