These letters stand for: Cor (Heart), Lectio (Reading), Auditus (Listening), Suspiria (Whispers), and Pax (Peace). We begin in our “heart” with prayer. We “read” through our Scripture passage.

From time to time, I have changed the translation to be closer to the Hebrew.All royalties for this book go to the Carmelite Sisters in Armstrong, BC. Read more
