A Cry for Mercy: Prayers from the Genesee"For seven months Henri Nouwen returned to the Trappist monks of the Genesee in upstate New York, the site of his previous book, Genesee Diary. No longer feeling the need to record his daily experience of modern contemplative life, he concentrated instead on writing a prayer every day. A Cry for Mercy is the fruit of that labor." "A Cry for Mercy is a book that points to the real and very powerful presence of the Divine Spirit who is promised to us by our Lord as a never-failing guide. "It is my hope," writes Nouwen, "that those who recognize in these prayers the cries of their own hearts will also recognize the quiet prayer of God's Spirit in the midst of their own halting and stuttering words.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
