Being Here

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Pádraig Ó Tuama offers us a month of prayers that brim with the warmth, insight, and lush description that listeners to Poetry Unbound have come to expect. The faithful will find themselves refreshed and renewed in these pages, and those estranged from religion will find balm and blessing. ‘What happens over years,’ Ó Tuama notes in one prayer, ‘stays inside our bodies / waiting for a touch, / a story, a tenderness of healing.’ I intend to carry this book with me over years and turn to it whenever I am in need of a little tenderness.”
