Author Francis Fernandez-Carvajal makes generous use of the writings of the great saints as he brings you focused and moving meditations on themes taken from the Mass readings for that day, the liturgical season, and more. This work is rich and extensive enough to serve as your spiritual reading for a lifetime, as it helps you relate the particulars of the message of Christ to the ordinary circumstances of your day. Each volume is small enough for you to carry to Adoration or some other suitable place for meditation. The whole set comes with a handsome slipcase that prevents wear-and-tear on the individual volumes.

A Must Have on your Nighstand/Nighttable,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Conversation with God: Meditations for Each Day of the Year, Vol. 5: Ordinary Time, Weeks 24-34 (Paperback)
I phoned into one of Johnette Benkovic's( Full of Grace: Women and the Abundant Life) radio shows to tell her the story of my conversion and coming home, back, as a revert to the Church. I also related that I was having difficulty finding a spiritual director to work with and one of her responses/ recommendations was to recommend this series of meditation books.
The books follow the themes of the weekly and daily readings at Mass. So, if you read the scriptures for the day and/or for Sunday, and then read this, you will have a very solid foundation and grounding in scripture. Catholics are often criticized for not knowing scripture. This is a way to help one get into it if you haven't yet. The books in this series are quite small with a vinyl cover and ribbon marker and are built for years of use. I keep mine on my night table next to my bed for prayer, meditation and lectio divina.

I just received this book which was suggested by a priest on EWTN. I had not heard of it before. It's written very well and explains how ordinary individuals can deepen their relationship with God. While it follows the Liturgy, it gives suggestions for improving our relationship with and communicating with God. I have an extensive library and this book is outstanding. It's at the top of my list of favorites.
