The Cry of the Deer takes us more deeply into the prayer experience through a series of meditations leading into practical exercises in affirming the presence of God. These meditations are based on the eternal certainties of the Christian faith as acclaimed in the translation of the hymn of St Patrick known as ‘The Deer’s Cry’. They are designed to help us to experience faith not merely as a creed but as a vital, living relationship with God that touches every aspect of our lives.
