‘The church has always felt the need to devote the days and hours of human life to divine praise. Thus, for Christians, sunrise and sunset…have been two special times of prayer since the earliest centuries.’ This series of catecheses, begun by John Paul II and completed by Benedict XVI, offer original and illuminating reflections on each of the psalms and canticles of evening prayer, leading the reader to deeper meditation and understanding. The psalms and canticles used by the Church for the four-week cycle of evening prayer are also reproduced in this volume. These reflections will prove an invaluable companion to those who pray the Liturgy of the Hours or simply for those who love the scriptures. In this volume, ‘we will be on a pilgrimage to that “holy land” made up of the Psalms and Canticles. One by one we will reflect on each of those poetic prayers, which God has sealed with his inspiration. They are invocations which the Lord Himself desires should be addressed to him, for he loves to listen to them, hearing in them the hearbeat of his beloved children.’
