Sacred Reading: The 2019 Guide to Daily Prayer provides a
prayerful and intimate exploration of the daily gospel readings, illuminating
each passage through a simple, six-step process that draws you into a personal
encounter with Christ. Unlike other prayer books using the traditional
spiritual devotion of lectio divina, this guide includes the Pope’s monthly
prayer intentions, allowing you to participate in the global life of the Church
while strengthening your own faith.
This inviting annual prayer book from the Pope’s Worldwide
Prayer Network—an international ecclesial ministry served by the Jesuits—breaks
open the daily gospel readings with a fresh take on the traditional spiritual
devotion lectio divina (sacred reading) and incorporates the Pope’s monthly
prayer intentions for groups across the globe. A straightforward yet deeply
prayerful approach to the ancient practice of lectio divina will help you
develop a sense of the universal Church in prayer for persecuted Christians,
national leaders, the elderly, and those in need.
With Sacred Reading, you will be guided to
- know God is present;
- read the gospel;
- notice what you think and feel;
- pray as you are led for yourself and others;
- listen to God; and
- ask him how to show you how to live each day.
Beginning with Advent and continuing through the entire
liturgical year, this book is a practical resource for anyone who is interested
in a deeper prayer life or is seeking a new approach to both praying and living
the gospel.
