DAILY MEDITATION MADE SIMPLE, PRACTICAL, AND POSSIBLE "I do not have enough time." "I do not know how to meditate." "I do not know what to meditate upon." "How do I form a practical resolution?" For Christians who have encountered these common difficulties, Fr. Marin de Boylesve, S.J. (1813-1892) provides an accessible answer in A Thought for Each Day of the Year . Meditation, or contemplative prayer, means prayerfully dwelling upon the truths of the Faith so that they may shape the mind, move the heart, and inspire good resolutions. Yet many sincere Christians struggle to begin or to maintain the practice amid the demands of daily life. Fr. de Boylesve removes these apparent obstacles by providing a complete course of brief daily meditations arranged in harmony with the liturgical year. Each entry contains: - A short thought drawn from the appointed Sunday Gospel - A clear and concise reflection - A brief prayer inspired by the meditation - A practical resolution to carry into daily life Only a few moments are needed to read each entry. The thought may then be considered more deeply during a period of prayer or recalled throughout the day, allowing even busy readers to develop a consistent habit of meditation. The book follows the traditional Roman liturgical calendar and its one-year cycle of Sunday Gospels, as found in the traditional Roman Missal. It does not follow the modern three-year Sunday lectionary. Readers may nevertheless use its Scriptural reflections and practical resolutions profitably regardless of which liturgical calendar they ordinarily follow. Rather than offering abstract spiritual theories or lengthy instructions, Fr. de Boylesve demonstrates meditation by guiding the reader directly from the words of the Gospel to reflection, prayer, and action. Originally praised by The Dublin Review as "an admirable commentary on the Gospel of the Sundays, from a devotional point of view," this work remains a practical companion for anyone seeking: - A manageable introduction to Catholic meditation - Daily spiritual reading rooted in the Gospels - Greater consistency in prayer - Practical resolutions for Christian life - A deeper appreciation of the traditional liturgical year A Thought for Each Day of the Year offers no complicated method and demands no lengthy preparation-only a few quiet moments, a willing heart, and the desire to allow the Gospel to bear fruit in everyday life.
