Product Description
Author and retreat leader Macrina Wiederkehr opens the monastery door and invites readers to come in and learn how the practice of consciously pausing for prayer at the seven sacred moments of each day can make their daily passage through time a more sacred pilgrimage. Using scripture, poetry, reflections. personal stories, and quotes from a rich array of spiritual teachers, Wiederkehr helps readers become more attuned to living in the present moment and develop a kindred spirit with the rich tradition of the sacred hours. Seven Sacred Pauses is a wonderful gift to those who seek to find balance in their busy days and to bring the practice of the Divine Hours home to their own hearts.

• Prayer Life 14 October, 2008
If you have an active prayer life but no time, this book is for you! Macrina has made it simple to pray at different hours of the day by listing prayers, beautiful poetry, and inspiring sayings from various writers and prayerful people. The beauty is you can pick and choose the prayers and sayings, and also choose the hours of the day you want to open the book and inspire yourself. A must for the busy, prayerful person. Well written and inspiring.

• To Bless The Space Between Us 30 May, 2008
These are very beautiful prayers, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I'm sorry that I was not able to access the Table of Contents or at least some pertinet information that would have told me about the contents.

• Seven Sacred Pauses 17 July, 2008
This book is a gem for those who seek to develop their spirituality. Seven pauses during the day is not always possible, but, when the pause is taken and the prayers, etc. are used, it has a very beneficial effect. The poetry written by Macrina is breathtaking.

• Making The Ordinary Sacred 15 May, 2008
Seven Sacred Pauses is a wonderful spiritual tool to help us remember the sacredness in each hour of the day. Macrina Wiederkehr has lived the monastic rhythm of the days and is able to give lay people the opportunity to recognize and honor the Divine all around us. I really find her meditations very helpful and can easily adapt them to the seasons of my life. I have given it as gifts and use it various groups from my prayer shawl ministry to EFM class. Velma Frye's accompanying CD is a terrific addition and the songs/chants serve as a shorthand to remembering the meditations.
