Seasons of the day - Sister Stanislaus Kennedy

Based on the traditionalBook of Hours- psalms said daily, at set times, by religious communities throughout the world -Seasons of the Dayreveals the enduring relevance of this ancient practice
to contemporary living.

InSeasons of the Day, Sister Stan, knowing that our modern-day understanding of time pushes us to our stressed-out limits, passes on the monastic ritual to the layperson.

Here, as she slows us down, she reveals the psalms through her own words, her own prayers. Using them, she also guides us tenderly through a four-week period, from the silence and mystery of pre-dawn (matins) through to the reflective conclusion of the day (compline).

In a world that can often seem hostile and unfriendly, her gentle reflections help the reader find inner peace and confidence.
