Praying the Wisdom

This Catholic book by Dr. James Papandrea invites readers into a deeper, more personal prayer life by drawing on Scripture and ancient sacred writings. It brings together nearly all the prayers in the Bible outside of the Psalms, along with texts from early Jewish and Christian traditions such as the Psalms of Solomon, the Odes of Solomon, and the Book of Jubilees.

Freshly translated from Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, these prayers reflect the faith of believers across centuries. By praying these words, readers are encouraged to move beyond speaking about God to speaking directly to Him, fostering a closer and more meaningful relationship with God.
