Inspired by a vivid account of St. Francis at prayer - where he didn’t merely pray but became prayer - Becoming Prayer introduces readers to the heart of Franciscan spirituality. Drawing on the enduring wisdom of Francis, Clare, and generations of Franciscans, it offers a rich and accessible introduction to prayer as a way of life.
Inspired by a vivid account of St Francis – where he didn’t merely pray but became prayer – Becoming Prayer introduces readers to the heart of Franciscan spirituality. Drawing on the enduring wisdom of Francis, Clare and generations of Franciscans, including voices like Richard Rohr and Ilia Delio, it offers a rich and accessible introduction to prayer as a way of life.
From moments of thanksgiving and praise to silent contemplation, readers will learn how Franciscans aim to pray not just in church, but in every moment. Simon Cocksedge and Nicholas Alan Worssam explore communal practices such as the Daily Office and Eucharist, and delve into prayer rooted in Scripture – through the Passion, the Stations of the Cross, and the Rosary. They also embrace the stillness of solitude: night time reflection, silence and the Jesus Prayer.
Rooted in a tradition that speaks powerfully to today’s world, and published in a milestone year for Franciscans globally, this is an invitation to an ancient yet ever-renewing journey of prayer.
