A daily reading that deepens our relationship with Jesus in the assurance of the quiet reality of his love and peace within us.

If you wish to discover more about the gift of silence in prayer, this is a most lovely book to take you on such a journey. The chapters are short but each one is a gem. The author appreciates the joys and the challenges of experiencing silence in our time with God in bite size pieces but leaves one with much to reflect on and discover in this type of engagement with God.

In Finding your Hidden Treasure Benignus O’Rourke has written a book that is a classic in its simplicity and depth. Those who wish to improve their prayer life can do no better than to read it and take its essential message to heart. In addition to sharing from his own extensive experience Fr O’Rourke quotes stories, episodes from everyday life, and the writings of St Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, William Johnston and other authorities to reinforce his message. He shows no interest in theory and shuns totally the excessive or imprecise word. To read this book is to experience how God works in the heart of man; it is to be invited to share that experience and be transformed. It is not a book to be read but once. It deserves to be read and reread, again and again.
