LOVE HOLDING LOVE
PRAY AND SING THE WORDS
of St. Francis and St. Clare
Twenty-six mantras
taken directly from the writings
of Saints Francis and Clare
on two CDs, background information on Francis and Clare
and a 16 page booklet explaining each chant.
Five mantras are in Spanish and English.
"The gospel and penetrate you through simple chants, sung over and over again: ‘Jesus, your light is shining within us; let my heart always welcome your love.’ When you work, when you rest, these realities keep echoing within you. Sometimes prayer is an inner struggle, and sometimes it means surrendering one’s whole being. At a given moment, it becomes simply resting in God in silence. That is perhaps one of the high points of prayer.” Brother Roger of Taizé
These beautiful mantras taken from the words of Saints Francis and Clare are designed for:
● personal, individual prayer leading one to contem plation;
● small community groups, prayer groups, retreats, and to enhance communal prayer;
● public liturgy where hymns and responsorial antiphons are used.
● The repetitive nature of each mantra facilitates communal singing.
● The mantras even lighten ordinary housework and driving through heavy traffic!
