Confident that the Church teaches us rightly but knowing as well that each of us must walk closely with God — hearing His voice not only through the Church but in the depths of our own hearts — Newman here shows us how to look to Jesus and declare:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI need you to teach me day by day, according to each day's opportunities and needs. Teach me . . . to sit at your feet and to hear your word. Give me that true wisdom which seeks your will by prayer and meditation. . . . Give me the discernment to know your voice from the voice of strangers, to rest upon it, and to seek it in the first place.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was Newman's greatest desire. It awakened in him ceaseless prayer, countless good works, a profound love of the sacraments, and the habit of daily meditation which strengthened his will, deepened his understanding, and enkindled in him an ever greater love of God. For those qualities, Pope Francis will canonize Newman on October 13, 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Catechism of the Catholic Church\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esays that ongoing growth in sanctity is \"an uninterrupted task for the whole Church.\" If in recent times yours has been interrupted (or merely slowed down), let it begin anew with this modest book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo help you discern God's voice daily, rest in it, and respond to it according to each day's opportunities and needs, we have here gathered fifty of Newman's most moving Christian meditations, each guaranteed to enkindle in your soul the very same kind of love they enkindled in his. As they nurtured Newman's daily acts of conversion and finally made him worthy of the title \"Saint,\" so will they call you to daily acts of conversion and finally lead you, as they led Newman, \"to bow down in awe before the depths of God's love.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woo-information-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"cam-description-heading\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes shop_attributes\" aria-label=\"Product Details\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 113.969px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--attribute_pa_pages\" style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 39.4532%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\" style=\"width: 57.6896%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--dimensions\" style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 39.4532%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\" data-o_content=\"N\/A\" style=\"width: 57.6896%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e7 × 5 × .5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--weight\" style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 39.4532%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\" data-o_content=\"N\/A\" style=\"width: 57.6896%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e7 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sophia Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48522954604763,"sku":"2531","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2117\/2365\/files\/16759262832647-28793.webp?v=1774730309","url":"https:\/\/catholicbookandgifts.com\/products\/everyday-meditations","provider":"Catholic Book \u0026 Gift Store ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
