Christoph Cardinal Schonborn, the editor of the monumental Catechism of the Catholic Church, a world wide best seller, provides a brief and profound commentary on the fourth part of the Catechism, the Paths of Prayer. Schonborn gives an incisive, detailed analysis of the Paths of Prayer, providing a specific meditation for each week of the year on how to develop a deeper life of prayer, as explained in the Catechism. Through these 52 meditations, Schonborn's hope is for the reader not just to have a better grasp of Catholic prayer in its various forms, with a special emphasis on the Lord's Prayer. This book will aid one's growth in a greater love of and devotion to the Person of Jesus Christ.
