Synopsis

This powerful new prayer book from the Apostleship of Prayer, the popes worldwide prayer network, engages and inspires readers with the daily scripture readings and introduces Catholics and other Christians to the traditional spiritual devotion known as the lectio divina, or sacred reading, in a new way.

Beginning with Advent and continuing through the year, Sacred Reading is a practical resource for anyone who is interested in a deeper prayer life or seeking a new approach to praying and living the scriptures. The book is a catalyst for an intimate encounter with Christ by reading, reflecting, praying, and responding to the Word of God in a way that is both familiar and fresh.|This powerful new prayer book from the Apostleship of Prayer, the popes worldwide prayer network, engages and inspires readers with the daily scripture readings and introduces Catholics and other Christians to the traditional spiritual devotion known as the lectio divina, or sacred reading, in a new way.
