Guiding the reader through the more representative psalms  he explains why the Church also considers the psalms as the best way to praise God. According to Merton: \"To put it very plainly  the Church loves the Psalms because in them she sings of her experience of God  of her union with the Incarnate Word  of her contemplation of God in the Mystery of Christ....If we really come to know and love the Psalms  we will enter into the Church's own experience of divine things. We will begin to know God as we ought.","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52437640184088,"sku":"9781639231430","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/712xTIgR7qL._SL1360.jpg?v=1784923905","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/praying-the-psalms-paperback-merton","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
