Catholic Women's Devotional Bible
A Bible designed to make Scripture more accessible to Catholic women,
focusing on deepening their spirituality by nurturing a love for God and
his Word and teaching them how to use Scripture in prayer and daily
life. It consists of the NRSV text with the deuterocanonical books, 260
Daily Meditations drawn from classic and contemporary sources, weekend
meditation, character sketches of women of the Bible, and articles on
living the Catholic traditions.
The Catholic Women’s Devotional Bible is designed specifically to
nourish a woman’s spirituality, making it easy to form a habit of daily
prayer and reading. It includes a year’s worth of meditations, drawn
from classic and contemporary sources, all written by women. Designed
especially to meet the needs of Catholics and those accustomed to
liturgically-based forms of worship, it includes a six-year reading plan
tied to the lectionary, making it easy to locate readings for daily and
Sunday liturgies. Additionally, each weekend devotional is based on the
life of a particular woman of the Bible, helping you see the relevance
of her story today. Each book of the Bible is preceded by a brief
introduction highlighting its historical context and its most important
themes. Additional articles focus on topics like the sacraments, holy
days, the liturgy, and spiritual direction, explaining the link between
tradition and Scripture to help you gain a greater understanding of your
faith. Meditations are drawn from a rich variety of authors, including:
Joan Wester Anderson Sister Wendy Beckett
Esther de Waal Catherine of Siena Dorothy Day Fran Ferder Briege McKenna
Julian of Norwich Joyce of Rupp Mother Teresa Teresa of Lisieux Macrina
