Nunc Coepi: A Year of Prayer

Nunc Coepi: A Year of Prayer is a 365-day book which organizes the year into thirds, each with its own spiritual writings by Jean Pierre de Cassaude, Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection and Gabrielle Bossis. Every week begins with passages from one of these authors, with Monday-Friday dedicated to sequential readings of the Psalms and Gospels. Every Wednesday, readers pause to reflect on a spiritual maxim by Saint Philip Neri, the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and Saint Francis de Sales. Saturdays are marked by reflection questions and an invitation to journal if desired.

Endorsement

Our life of prayer - our friendship with Jesus and union with God - is the surest source of true happiness and deep peace. Nunc Coepi offers a guiding hand that will lead you in the way of prayer with the gathered wisdom of those who have gone before us in the faith and practical steps that will animate your prayer, allowing it to bear more abundant fruit in your own soul and in the world. Whether you are beginning or beginning again in your life of prayer, I recommend this beautiful little book wholeheartedly.
