What is The words we pray : discovering the richness of traditional Catholic prayers about?

<p>A thoughtful exploration of the history and vitality of traditional Catholic prayers.</p> <h3>Publishers Weekly</h3> <p>This book will be useful to non-Catholics who've ever wondered about the difference between a Hail Mary and the Salve Regina, as well as Catholics who would like to delve into the significance of some of the Church's most important prayers. Welborn, author of several books for Catholic youth, writes that as a young adult she was a bit of a prayer snob, finding comfort in extemporaneous personal prayers but not the rote, memorized historic prayers of the Catholic tradition.

Here, she presents and analyzes some of the Church's most famous prayers, worn and prayed by millions, including the sign of the cross, the Our Father (the Lord's Prayer), the Hail Mary, the creeds, the Act of Contrition, the Jesus Prayer, the Anima Christi, the prayers of Saint Francis and others. Welborn does a fine job of drawing on
