This powerful and inspiring prayer book from the Apostleship of Prayer engages 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,"

Sacred Reading: The 2018 Guide to Daily Prayer guides you through the Church's daily gospel readings, as well as readings for solemnities and feast days, asking you to

* know that God is present;
* read the gospel;
* notice what you think and feel;
* pray for yourself and others;
* listen to Jesus; and
* ask God to show you how to live today.

Beginning with Advent and following the entire Church year, this 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.
