PRAYING WITH THE BODY Bringing the Psalms to Life Roy DeLeon, OblSB Pray with more than your mind. Pray like a psalmist. While most books about prayer are meant to be read, this one is an invitation to move in prayer by expressing the Psalms with motion. This creative approach will take you beyond your “head” into your entire being, as a way of expanding your relationship with God. Roy DeLeon, who has been guiding others in this active prayer practice for years, guides you with helpful drawings, scripture texts, and explanations. Working together, these elements invite you to try a new and different way of knowing God. These meditations and reflections will connect you to your deepest needs, to your hunger and longing for contentment, for freedom from fear, and for peace. As Roy says, “May this book help you to "rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thess. 5:16-18)
