Songs of Our Hearts, Meditations of Our Souls by Cecilia Moore

In these prayers you will discover the expression, expectation and desire for a just, human, open, welcoming and inclusive society. Prayer and faith in the African American Tradition is the vibrant connection with a God who liberates.
--from the Introduction

Traditions come together in this book of prayer. The African American faith tradition, the Roman Catholic Christian tradition and the variety of forms of prayer from African peoples have framed the content of this volume. You will find liturgical prayer, prayers for families and communities, meditations and prayers of healing, inspiration, consolation, freedom and reconciliation.
