Wonderful

It is so nice to be guided on a daily basis. I review the next days scripture the evening before. Often, if I wake in the night, I can recall the scripture, or a few words of it, which is a joy to ponder and allows me to fall asleep again very peacefully. It is also very inspiring to read it again throughout the next day!

Helpful in prayer and meditation

This little book has been quite helpful to me. Father Rosage provides 52 weeks of Scripture meditations to give us a starting point for our own daily private prayer. Each week has a theme and seven short daily Scripture passages to read and meditate on. He provides a brief essay each week related to some aspect of prayer and meditation and an even briefer introductory paragraph to the weekly theme. The 52 weeks roughly follow the flow of the Church year. This is a great book for those who don't need an extensive introduction to Christian prayer and meditation but do need a bit of help getting started and a little guidance each day.

Here are a few of the brief essays:
Prayer is Hunger
Scripture and Eucharist
Wordless Prayer
Meditation
Affective Prayer
Praying with Scripture
Poverty of Spirit -- a Prayer Posture
A Sacrifice of Praise
Childlike Prayer
Roadblocks to Effective Prayer

Here are a few of the weekly themes:
Listen to God say, I love you
Wonder and reverence of the Lord
Jesus, a sign of contradiction
The teaching ministry of Jesus
Death by crucifixion
Walking in the Spirit
Intercessory prayer

As a sample, in week 41, the essay is "People of Praise," the theme is "The mystery of God's presence in us," and these are the daily pssages:1 Cor. 3:16-23; 2 Cor. 6:14-18; 1 Cor. 6:12-19; Rom. 5:3-11; 1 Cor. 2:6-16; 2 Cor. 3:1-18; Col. 2:6-15

A useful book which I recommend.
