This New Day: Reflections to Inspire & Challenge

This New Day is the fourth book of reflections by Patrick Jurd, with inspiration for each day of the year. The book invites us to open at a particular date, to be inspired, to refresh our faith in our God who makes all things new, each day, every day.

The daily reflections begin with passages from Scripture, Franciscan or Lasallian writings, acknowledging that Scripture especially always has something new to say to us, offering new possibilities to grow in faith.

The themes in This New Day affirm, challenge and transform. They cover a variety of topics - discipleship, education, prayer, formation, spirituality, integrity, life choices, building relationships - in ways that are thoughtful, caring gentle, inspiring, and concerned to remind readers that the Holy Spirit is constantly guiding us, every day.
