Recited very frequently by the saints, Psalm 27 has sustained countless souls in the struggle against fear and in the hope of the land of the living. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux contemplates it as a search for the face of God, a loving desire rather than outward fulfillment; Saint John Chrysostom teaches that this land is a future promise and a present grace; and Saint John of the Cross sheds light on wait for the Lord as a strength that matures in the dark night.

The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation: Prayers Inspired by Psalm 27 brings together a collection of prayers born of this living tradition: when the heart trembles, when grief weighs heavy, when anxiety tightens its grip, or when perseverance becomes difficult. Here you will find words to ask for inner clarity, for security in God as salvation, and for refuge amid inner assaults, complex decisions, and moments of darkness.

The book follows the great themes of the psalm: light in the face of fear (v.1-3), one thing I ask -to dwell and to behold- (v.4), Seek my face as a path of conversion and mercy (v.7-9), and the courageous waiting that grows stronger each day (v.13-14). It includes spaces to note intentions and accompanies personal prayer with traditional images, to help you return again and again to trust: The Lord is my light and my salvation.
