Reflective Prayers

ese Re ective Prayers consider a pondering over theassembly of texts for a given occasion, a service at whichthe readings from the Revised Common Lectionary areread. e notion that inspired the process of this re ectioncame from e Prayers of Catherine of Siena, wherethe editor-translator, Suzanne No ke, O.P. , noted thatCatherine's prayers, recorded by her confessor, followedthe readings at daily Mass. Over the years, these re ectionshave proved valuable to me and have come to be publishedin this form in batches of 90. is volume contains theprayers over several years, beginning in May of 2003.
