“I prayed to get a good job, but I’m still unemployed. I prayed for my mother, but she died. Why didn’t God answer my prayer?” Father Krenzke refuses to accept the common answers: “God answered your prayer, and the answer was ‘no’,” or “If you had had enough faith, your prayer would have been answered.” Instead, he explores our limited ideas of prayer in the light of the Bible in order to probe the real nature of effective petition and intercession, and their role in a healthy prayer life. St. Walburga Press, ISBN 978-0-9823737-3-6. Published 2009. 75 pages, soft cover.

The Number Touched Untold: Collected Poems of Dorothy M. Colgan
Carolyn England Ritchie began these poems in response to her sister's decision to enter contemplative life as a Benedictine nun. She says in the Preface: "I found myself writing prayers.They were prayers about her life, about my life, the echo of the one in the other. But mostly they were about the mysterious place which was the source of direction for both of us."
