The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living Summary

The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living: Excerpts from the Works of Father Thomas Keating, O.C.S.O by S.Stephanie Iachetta

This work brings together for each day of the year three prayer practices for contemplative living: first, a brief "active prayer"; second, spiritual reading; and, third, Lectio Divina. The brief introductory prayer sentences are from various sources - the Bible and traditional prayers of the church or of well-known spiritual writers. The spiritual readings come from eleven of Father Keatings books and one audiotape, with a month's worth of readings derived from each work. Each day's entry concludes with a brief selection from the Bible, or Lectio Divina.

The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living Reviews

"Some books, like some people, can be pronounced 'wonderful' after only a brief encounter; more meetings simply reinforce our initial judgment. This is that sort of book... a wake-up call we need to 'seize the day' once again by attending to the promptings within our hearts and allowing the most gentle of companions to accompany us through it." George W. Hunt, S.J., former editor-in-chief of America"
