Bless the Day: Prayers and Poems To Nurture Your Soul

Father Paul Keenan, author of Good News for Bad Days: Living a Soulful Life
From time to time, all of us need a quiet corner to curl up in, a place to think, to heal, to pray. In Bless the Day, June Cotner transports us to such a corner where the soulful beauty of words and wisdom blesses us and enables us to bless our world in return.


From the Author
Bless the Day grew out of a desire to create a book of spiritual poems and prayers that celebrate life's daily blessings. The poets represented in the book have learned to find the spark of divinity in the challenging, and sometimes tragic events that befall all of us at one time or another. A subject index offers my recommendations for special events. All of the blessings here can be used anytime you need a spirit lifted, a heart comforted, or a thought embraced.


From the Inside Flap
Whether quiet and introspective or heartfelt and celebratory, blessings are a way for us to greet each new day with thanks and hope. In Bless the Day, June Cotner shares with us a treasury of poems and prayers that touch the heart and nurture the spirit. Arranged by theme, the pieces in this collection focus on hope, courage, and love as thoughtfully as they do on inspiration, faith, and strength. The blessings here are meant to be shared with family and friends at life's great events, offering comforting words for the bereaved, encouraging words for graduates, inspiring words for newlyweds, and songs of hope for readers on any occasion. Filled with the wisdom of timeless poets like Emily Dickinson, enlightened thinkers like Mother Teresa, and fresh voices whose words pierce the soul, Bless the Day offers comfort and encouragement throught the hard times and makes the good ones even more memorable.
