The prayers compiled in this unique book are gleaned from the rich tradition of Jesuit reflection on the human hunger for God. Hundreds of prayers are included, many written by the most illustrious Jesuits--Ignatius Loyola, Francis Xavier, Peter Canisius, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Anthony de Mello, Karl Rahner, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Daniel Berrigan. They give eloquent voice to Ignatian spirituality, which finds God present in all things. Compiler Michael Harter, S.J. designed Hearts on Fire to embody a central insight of the Ignatian tradition--that we meet God in the course of our daily lives. Thus, the collection includes prayers for all occasions, including the most familiar and seemingly mundane. It will enrich the spiritual lives of everyone who seeks to know and love God more fervently.
