Masterfully written and intensely enlightening, Franciscan Prayer is the essential handbook for all those seeking to pray and live the Franciscan way. Delio brings to light the "contemplative," "cosmic" and "evangelizing" aspects of Franciscan prayer.

"By examining Saint Francis's doctrine of prayer through the twin lens of Saints Clare and Bonaventure, this book provides us with a long overdue spiritual and theological synthesis which will be treasured by all who love the Franciscan tradition. A significant contribution, beautifully presented.—Lawrence S. Cunningham, University of Notre Dame
