Seven Sacred Pauses by Macrina Wiederkehr
This simple guide written by a sister of St. Scholastica Monastery in Arkansas, brings the monastic practice of prayer throughout the day and night to those of us who practice our spirituality in the world with job, family or the creative arts. Although a tradition within Catholicism and primarily based on Christian scripture “Seven Sacred Pauses” offers people from any background a practice that can be adapted to any lifestyle.
I like that it is small enough for a handbag, and yet offers an abundance of short reflections, prayers and quotes as rhythm for a whole day’s journey that can be used by those of us who will never live a cloistered life yet yearn be awake in the present moment. Marina Wiederkehr is the woman who taught me to PAUSE.
