How to Pray Each Day

Pray “Lord Jesus, you who are the Son of the living God, teach me to listen to what you tell me in the holy Scriptures, and to discover your face there.”—Guigo II, the Carthusian (ca. 1113-1193)

Read the day’s passage once, slowly.

Take 2-3 minutes to ponder the passage. Note any phrase, word or image that stands out for you.

Read the passage a second time slowly.

Take a few minutes to ponder the passage again. Staying with the text, consider these questions: 

Why do you think the words or image stand out the first time?
Is your mind drawn to another part of the text now?
What do you think God is trying to tell you through the text today?
