Coffee With The Scriptures

I started another blog yesterday. It is called Coffee With The Scriptures. The idea is to share my points of reflection regarding the daily Scripture readings from Mass with others. These are rough and unpolished thoughts, but maybe they will be of some use to others who are trying to enter into prayer with the Scriptures.

As I write in my header, I sit down with the readings and a cup of coffee every morning. I usually spend somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour meditating on the Scriptures, seeking to apply them to my life, and listening for God's words to me. One of the first things I do after I read the Scripture passages, and after a moment of silence, is to write down a key phrase from the passage and a couple of points of reflection. These will be the things that I will use later in my prayer session. The advantage of writing these points on a note card is that I can carry these points around with me through out the day, giving me opportunities for recollection and continued reflection.
