This ten-session resource encourages daily meditation and journaling and is appropriate for both beginners and experienced travelers on their faith journey. It speaks of how God is with us through all of our joys and sorrows, and it is therefore a perfect guide for small parish or faculty groups seeking to grow in intimacy with God. This volume, formatted similarly to Walk Humbly with Your God, contains general guidelines for small-group faith sharing.
The first session contains an opening prayer service and organizational suggestions for future meetings. The last session contains a closing prayer service and the opportunity to create follow-up activities as the group concludes the sessions.
Sessions in between include daily scriptural readings, meditation starters, and prayers. Scriptural passages come from Wisdom literature: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom, and Sirach. Participants are invited to spend some time in prayer with these words of Scripture written before the time of Christ, words that filled Jesus’ mind, rested in his heart, and were spoken by his lips.
Individual participants engage in daily prayer time. They read specific passages from Wisdom literature and are given opportunities to journal. They are encouraged to share thoughts from their journal entries or insights from the session’s scriptural reading.
