Praying with Every Heart

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In this colono mother’s book about prayer, Professor Carvalhaes leads us to Dona Esther: ‘Mother teach us to pray, just as Jesus taught his disciples.’ And mother Esther will tell us, ‘When you pray, make sure that you pray with every heart.’ My late mother, a ritual-maker herself, would surely dance her amen to this new and refreshingly revolutionary catechism on prayer.”
