Beschreibung

Bloomsbury presents The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living by Thomas Keating O.C.S.O., read by Chris Courtenay. Thomas Keating was a Cistercian monk who founded the worldwide 'Contemplative Outreach', teaching people the art of meditation. This work brings together three prayer practices for each day of the year to enhance 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 11 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.

Rezensionen

"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, an ideal vade mecum for those who desire to retrieve the wonderfulness so often obscured by the distracting demands of our ordinary routines, the sheer dailiness of our daily lives that dulls our spiritual sensitivities. Here then is 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
