discerning the presence of God in our lives

This superb little book both explores the ancient wisdom of St Patrick's prayer (invoking Christ's presence, with, within, beside, before and behind us in our battles and on our journeys) and suggests specific ways we might become more aware in our own daily lives of the promised presence of Christ. Blending Biblical scholarship with personal reflection, these 13 beautifully written meditations are simultaneously deeply consoling and gently challenging, as we are not invited not only to appropriate Christ's presence with and within us but to reveal Christ's presence in the world. Thoughtful questions for reflection at the end of the book make this not only a wonderful aid (and a terrific gift) for anyone longing to broaden and deepen consciousness of God-with-us, but an excellent book for group study. Highly recommended.
