Prayers for a Lifetime is a paperback which includes many prayers written by Rahner for his own purposes. He covers various periods in the Roman Catholic tradition. These prayers can be used by any of the Christian churches. I find them comforting and thoughtful. Anna Seidler

Not a book for most people. Should be read slowly and in print.
Includes much of what is found in Encounters with Silence, but has some other great prayers. I’m going to stick reading Encounter with Silence on a regular basis, but this one was a good thoughtful read.

This is an exceptional, reflective and, I would say, even emotional book, written by one of the great theological minds of the century.
Rahner's theological efforts can fill a bookshelf and one has to be well versed in the intricacies of modern theology to get through them (Karl's brother Hugo, himself a deep thinker, told their mother Karl's writings were so abstruse that when he retired he was going to 'translate' Karl's books into German so others could figure out what he was saying).
Prayers for a Lifetime is completely different. Written from his heart, informed by his mind, my thoughts seem to travel with him through his doubts, fears, difficulties and insights. It is not a book to hurry through; it took me a year, for one begins to pray with him, finding affinity and hope with words that continue to tumble through your brain and find pathways into your own prayer.

This book is a collection of meditations written by the author. I found many of them to be filled with meaningful insights. They provide rich material for personal reflection.
