Reflecting on the Serenity Prayer
by Philip St. Romain
The Serenity Prayer is admired and prayed by those who seek to find an inner peace in the face of life's difficult challenges. Here, Philip St. Romain gives the complete prayer new meaning by reflecting on the meditative words and how they can help us truly surrender our life to God's care. In each short chapter, St. Romain provides a meditation on one of the principles from the prayer and proposes specific ways to implement the principle it embodies. Then, through reflection questions, he helps us address our situations -- facing up to our shortcomings and dealing with our issues.
