“Prayer is the breath of faith; it is its most proper expression. Like a silent cry that issues from the hearts of those who believe and entrust themselves to God.” – Pope Francis

In this second of eight booklets on prayer, Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi invites the reader to re-discover the Psalms, and in them the “immense horizon that spans our entire planet and extends across the centuries”. No matter the reason for prayer, the psalms give it voice, capturing the deepest yearnings of the human heart, and teaching it to sing to God.
