I am reviewing a copy of Prayers of Boundless Compassion through Ave Maria Press and Netgalley:


Compassion was at the center of Jesus's ministry, he healed the sick, fed the hungry, and forgave sinners.

In this book of prayers we are encouraged to Love Another. We are encouraged to plants seeds of compassion. We are encouraged to not only have compassion towards others but to ourselves as well.


We are encouraged to pray for the sick, to pray for Refugees. We are reminded too that we need to activate the fruits of the Spirit. We are encouraged to send forth compassion.


I give Prayers of Boundless Compassion five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

I absolutely love this book. I can see myself returning to it over and over again. I love to meditate and found these Prayers and meditations beautiful. I don't find it easy to still my mind but with these prayers it really helped me.

This is a most beautiful book of prayers and poems reflecting various aspects of compassion by one of my favorite spiritual authors. I particularly love that she has granted permission for people to copy and use these as part of a group gathering or liturgy, with attribution to the author (as described in the introduction). I am a workshop and retreat leader in the field of SoulCollage® and will use many of these poems in my classes and during my online teaching as well. There are seven sections or categories: Compassion as a Way of Life, Self-Compassion, Compassion and Suffering, Compassion and Marginalization, Compassion for Creation, Compassionate Presence, and Other Prayers of Compassion. From what I am seeing now on the news, our society (and the world) could use a healthy healing dose of compassion and this book sets us on the right path to bringing that about. Highly, highly recommend.
