WHY PRAY THE PSALMS? presented by Sr. Eileen Smith, RSM. The psalms of the Hebrew Scriptures are a treasury of prayers and songs of the Jewish people written more than 2000 years ago. Yet both Jews and Christians pray these prayers every day in their worship services. Why are they still relevant today and how can they help us to grow in our relationship with God? This three-week series will center on both understanding the psalms and how, by pondering on them, our lives can be transformed and made whole. Hybrid.
