Great devotional book.

I have been using this book for several years. Two of my favorite things are: 1. It makes me think, with the commentary and the questions. 2. The scripture for the day is printed in the book so I don't have to balance a Bible and the book to use it. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to develop their relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Fantastic!

I got the version for 2020 some months back and almost put it down because the first entry I read was more about priests than it was about connecting with God, but I'm grateful I kept on with it. Day by day I kept at it, and I ordered the new one for 2021. Every single day of this new year, this book has been a blessing. I have an entire shelf of prayer and meditation books, and most of them are great, but this one offers reading before and after the Gospel for the day (opportunities to reflect before reading, to read and listen to what is being said, and then to talk to God about how we feel about it, about any doubts or concerns or fears we may be having). I find this tremendously helpful and a wonderful way to start the day with a beautiful divine connection.

Some of the reflections at the beginning of each week are better than others, and I will go back sometimes to the ones I find most inspiring, but in whole this is an invaluable tool for getting quiet, for listening to the message, and for going to God about the message. Awesome!

Recommend for daily prayer

My go-to daily prayer guide for the past 15 years or so. Daily passages for reflection (lectio divina). Some of the bullet point prompts for reflection are helpful, and others not so much. (The quality of these prompts has diminished over the years, in my opinion, but others may disagree). While the Sacred Space website offers the same daily scriptures with different prompts, I prefer to hold the book, to make notes on the pages, and to linger a page at a time. Scores of times over the years I’ve recommended Sacred Space as a resource for folks looking for a daily prayer guide. Hats off to the Irish Jesuits.
