Download or read book The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living written by Thomas Keating and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
