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".
