“PRAYER” by PAUL SÉDIR
About a week ago, Bro. Marco van Boekel asked if anyone could translate Paul Sédir’s book on Prayer. Although working on a number of projects, since I have a soft spot for Sédir I was intrigued and took a look at the text.
Its power amazed me. Its importance was evident, and I immediately set aside my other projects to work on this. It’ s short book, barely 36 pages long, but the contents can be read and reread over a lifetime. Each time I seem to see something more, something behind the text. Indeed, in over 20 years of translating, I have never worked on a book which made me cry as I was translating it! That is how powerful the book is.
As well as providing one of the most practical manuals I have ever read on how to pray (somehow it seems most books offered by the Christian mystics – I’m looking at you, St. Theresa of Ávila – write about their experiences in such a way that, instead of teaching you how to do it, you feel like a mere observer to their experiences), it also offers flashes of insight into what lies beyond. His devotion both to Maître Philippe and to Martinism shine through every page.
I hope you find this translation both useful and uplifting.
By the way, if you hover over the BOOKS option on the top menu, you’ll now see a new page appear: UP AND COMING RELEASES. Here you’ll see the projects I and our other authors are currently working on!
Brother Piers, thank you for making this work available for free here. The veil is thin and the world more in need of prayer than ever. Effective and continued use of the hows and whys laid out in this work is an excellent tool.
Thank you for your kind words, Angelynn! Great to hear from you!
Brother Piers, I’m not able to read Prayers, is it possible to have the opportunity?
Best Regards
Walter Crossley
