Pause and Pray: Reflections, Prayers, and Actions for Everyday Life

Reflect. Pray. Act. These simple directions make up the core of the Pause and Pray experience. Each of the dozens of prayers in this book includes a brief reflection and a simple action to make your everyday life more prayerful.

Pause and Pray is divided into sections including prayers for:

• Gratitude
• Joy and wonder
• Care for creation
• Love
• Family
• Sorrow and grief
• Forgiveness
• Acceptance
• Patience and peace
• Courage
• Compassion
• Social justice

Every page is designed to give you the space to pause, reflect prayerfully on an intention, and take that intention with you into the world with a concrete action.

Adapted from the popular online feature pause+pray (franciscanmedia.org/pausepray), this book is designed to help you integrate your prayer life into your everyday actions, allowing your spirituality to flourish. If you've been seeking a way to make your entire day more prayerful, Pause and Pray is the resource you've been looking for.
