ese Re ective Prayers consider a pondering over the assembly of texts for a given occasion, a service at which the readings from the Revised Common Lectionary are read. e notion that inspired the process of this re ection came from e Prayers of Catherine of Siena, where the editor-translator, Suzanne No ke, O.P. , noted that Catherine's prayers, recorded by her confessor, followed the readings at daily Mass. Over the years, these re ections have proved valuable to me and have come to be published in this form in batches of 90. is volume contains the prayers over several years, beginning in May of 2003.
