The Apostolate of Prayer by Brigid E. Herman is a book that explores the importance of prayer in the life of a Catholic. The author emphasizes the role of prayer in building a strong relationship with God and in fulfilling one's mission as a disciple of Christ. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of prayer: the nature of prayer, the power of prayer, the practice of prayer, and the fruits of prayer. In the first part, the author discusses the different forms of prayer and their significance in the life of a Catholic. She explains that prayer is not just a means of asking God for things, but also a way of listening to God and allowing Him to guide our lives. In the second part, Herman explores the power of prayer, citing examples from the lives of saints and other holy men and women who have experienced the transformative power of prayer in their own lives. The third part of the book focuses on the practical aspects of prayer, providing guidance on how to develop a daily prayer routine and how to overcome common obstacles to prayer. The author emphasizes the importance of perseverance and consistency in prayer, even when it may seem difficult or unproductive. Finally, in the fourth part of the book, Herman discusses the fruits of prayer, including spiritual growth, inner peace, and a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in life. She encourages readers to embrace the apostolate of prayer, which involves not only praying for one's own needs but also interceding for the needs of others and for the world as a whole. Overall, The Apostolate of Prayer is a comprehensive guide to the practice of prayer in the Catholic tradition. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with God and to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life as a disciple of Christ.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Creative Prayer, by Brigid E.
