Hope in the Psalms

St. Athanasius wisely pointed out to his hearers that the Book of Psalms was effectively like a Bible in miniature, a place where all human emotion found a voice, and a directive on how to pray to God. This talk will emphasize the rich tradition of praying the Psalms, focusing in particular on the integration of the Psalms into one’s life of prayer, allowing them to become fonts of hope.
