With the verses of the Kyrie Eleison as a guide, this four-week cycle of ecumenical poetry and prayer responds to modern Christianity's deep longing for spiritual meaning and growth. Poems are used here as modern parables, and together with companion prayers, lead readers back to Scripture where God reveals eternal words of Praise, Hope, Grace, and Life. When readers open themselves to the ecstasy of a poem, they are able to transcend themselves and thus open up to Mystery and to the possibility of healing.
