Special Intentions - Coleman, Claire

. .

Résumé :
Advance praise for Special Intentions Special Intentions reminds us of the importance of not simply praying for what we need, but for what others need. Jesus taught us to ask God for our daily bread, but he also asked us to love one another. Commending our friends and families (and co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances and even those who bother us) to the care of God is a key aspect of that love, and an important element of the Christian tradition. Claire Coleman's sensitive new work will help readers to more fully enter into this rich stream of the spiritual life. -James Martin S.J, author of My Life with the Saints If you've ever offered up a simple 'God help him' at the sight of someone less fortunate, then this book will resonate with your innate sense that prayers have power. Claire Coleman offers a graceful, easy way to benefit others with her beautifully written portraits of those in need. Take her advice, say a prayer for a stranger and make the world a better place. -Patricia Sheridan, Assistant Editor/Features, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette While Special Intentions is a beautiful meditative book for the person alone in prayer before God, it likely also will be will be an inspiration for those in prayer groups, and friends who come together to talk about their life's journeys. -Dianne M. Traflet, J.D., S.T.D., Associate Dean, Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology, Seton Hall University Prayer is a personal experience, but sometimes we need a little reminder. Claire Coleman's Special Intentions is the perfect book to keep close at hand and close to the heart to reference, to inspire, and to share with others. -Amelia Grey, author of twenty-three books [The] listings of special intentions are so global and yet personal, so ordinary and yet profound. -Sr. Joan Noreen, OLME, co-founder and director of Our Lady's Missionaries of the Eucharist Host, Eucharistic Journey, Eternal World Television, (EWT) Network Ms. Coleman reminds us that every one of us is, for very different reasons, in need of prayers.… Her ability to lead us to pray for someone we suddenly notice, think about, and then care about-someone who we don't even know - is truly a gift. -Dr. Sharon Latchaw Hirsh, president, Rosemont College, Rosemont, Pennsylvania
