An Invitation to Reflect and Pray During Ordinary Time The season between Pentecost and Advent, known as Ordinary Time, invites us to live as Christians in the here and now. But as this beautiful book reminds us, living in the here and now is anything but ';ordinary' because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. His death and resurrection inaugurated a new life, one which is empowered by the gift of the Holy Spirit. Eighth Day Prayers: Daily Joy for Ordinary Time calls us to be faithful disciples in this transformative season as we grow in our faith, speak of Jesus's love to the world, and devote ourselves to caring for one another in the church. This gentle yet powerful guide encourages us to pray words directly from Scripture. Each entry features: a Scripture passage to usher you into God's Word a brief reflection to take you deeper into the biblical text a Scripture-soaked prayer to conclude your quiet time and refocus your day and a calendar at the top of each page to help you find your place We are all living in the eighth day: The day of Jesus's resurrection. The day of new creation. The day in which the kingdom of God is ';already here and not yet fulfilled.' Eighth Day Prayers invites us to draw closer to him individually and as a body of believers as we reflect on his presence with us.
