The Collegeville Prayer of the Faithful Annual 2008, Cycle A: with CD-ROM of Intercessions​ - Michael Kwatera, O.S.B.
Let us bring our prayers to the Lord. Each week when the community comes together for Mass, we gather to listen to the Word, partake of the Eucharist, and to pray. The Prayer of the Faithful is the same in terms of our need, but always an opportunity to approach God collectively in a way that reflects the richness of our particular celebration. This series of prayers by Father Michael Kwatera is grounded in the present moment in the church. He draws on the readings, the significance of feasts, and other celebrations. He's also attuned to the many ways we approach God, in language that is clear and attentive to the oral quality of the prayer. To place prayerful words on human lips and in human hearts is a most sacred work, writes Father Kwatera in the introduction. The fruit of this work is a set of texts that invites the community to draw near to God each week in prayer. The Collegeville Prayer of the Faithful Annual includes a CD-ROM of intercessions that can be easily adapted for parish use. Each prayer is provided in a Word file that allows users to easily personalize the intercessions for their own parish.

Fr. Michael Kwatera, O.S.B., Ph.D. is Director of Oblates for Saint John's Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota, as well as a teacher and practitioner of Christian Liturgy. He is the author of several Liturgical Press books including Come to the Feast: Liturgical Theology of, by, and for Everybody and is the co-author of To Thank and Bless: Prayers at Meals.

Reviews
"Grounded in the Word of God and gifted with the heart of the poet himself, Michael Kwatera, O.S.B. uses these gifts to give voice to our petitions. The Collegeville Prayer of the Faithful Annual, 2008 is full, sensitive, and inclusive. Based on readings of the day, these prayers are well-crafted and easy to expand, drawing the assembly to recall the Scripture text, as well as the needs of God's people, here and now. This work is a worthwhile source for anyone who plans and facilitates liturgy, whether for parish, seminary, religious house, or campus community."
-Marie Garman, IHM, Incarnation of Our Lady Convent, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"In a single volume, Father Kwatera has marvelously enfleshed the Prayers of the Faithful reflecting cycle A Sunday readings. He expresses the formula for the prayers with impeccable theology and tasteful poetry. The sparse approach to each prayer projects well his goal that, something of God will come to someone and do something for them. This collection can be easily adapted in the parish each Sunday. It can also inspire the liturgist or pastor as she or he writes custom-made Prayers of the Faithful each week for the local parish."
-Peggy Lovrien, Director of Liturgy, Diocese of Winona

"These prayers are rooted in scripture and the feasts and seasons of the liturgical calendar. They are beautifully poetic texts which cannot be merely read, but must be prayed. The Collegeville Prayer of the Faithful Annual, 2008 is a must-have resource for anyone charged with the task of composing prayers for their faith community."
-Barbara Guenther, Pastoral Associate for Liturgy and Music, Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Community, Albuquerque, New Mexico
