Any opinions out there? I have seen The Word Among Us, Magnificat and Living Faith. From my research it seems that the three could all be used because they are so different. What is your favorite? Are there any others out there I don’t know about? Thanks 🙂

I use Magnificat for the spiritual articles and lives of saints, and for meditating on the upcoming readings. (our pastor gives them free to those who attend weekday Mass.)

For many years I have been using “One Bread, One Body”. It is one page. On top there are listed a few Scripture passages to read, then there is a couple of paragraphs commenting on them, in a way that I can apply it to myself. Here is a sample of today’s page from the website:

presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp

A free will offering is all that is needed occasionally. I like it very much as it is not sentimental, but gets right to the point. If you like it you can find the address to Presentation Ministries in the site, and write to them saying you would like to have a sample copy.

I don’t believe they would deprive you of the devotional if you had no money. They even ask if you know someone interested to give them their address.

If you really like “One Bread One Body” just ask them to send them to you. At some future time you may be able to send a dollar or two if possible.

IN CONVERSATION WITH GOD, by by Fr. Francis Fernandez Carvajal.

This is a set of daily readers in seven books. It is intended to be read year after year, and stands up well under this program. Each day has 6 pages, divided into three sections. You can read all three sections at once, or spread out the readings throughout the day. I highly recommend this set of books.:yup:

Several Internet Catholic stores, as well as AMAZON, carry the set.
 
Thanks for the suggestions so far! Country Steve, I do know that Word Among Us is free online. www.wau.org Just click on today’s meditation and you can read it there. This is what I have been doing every morning. Will have to check out the other one mentioned!
