The Book Launch for The Simplest Prayer: A Book of Love and Faith by the Irish Franciscans took place in the Franciscan Friary, Merchants Quay, Dublin on 18 October during a day of prayer for the Year of the Holy Name of Jesus. Many attended the event.
The simplest prayer is to reach out in faith to Jesus whose love and mercy will never fail us. This book by the Irish Franciscans, beautifully illustrated by the Poor Clares in Galway, includes practical advice on meditation and using Jesus’ own words for help in many situations, including periods of loss, grief, gratitude, anxiety and depression. The Simplest Prayer shows us how we can open ourselves to the presence of the Lord in our everyday lives.
