Ordinary Grace Weeks 1–17: Daily Gospel Reflections
Overview
In Ordinary Grace, members of the Daughters of St. Paul share the fruit of a prayerful reading of Sacred Scripture. Join them in welcoming the unique grace of Ordinary Time—the opportunity to reflect more deeply on all the aspects of the mystery of Christ, as presented in the daily Gospel readings. These reflections are based on a “lectio divina” (“holy reading”) prayer method, in line with the Pauline tradition and their founder, Blessed James Alberione.
