Before your day has a plan, the Spirit is already there.What would change if the Holy Spirit were not merely someone you studied, but the One whose presence you learned to recognize from the first moments of every morning?
Starting Your Days with Jesus: A Year in the Spirit is a year of weekday contemplations designed not simply to teach you about the Holy Spirit, but to help you live attentively with Him.
Each Monday through Friday offers a focused Scripture passage, a contemplative reflection, a prayer, and a simple practice you can carry into the rest of the day. Weekends remain open for worship, rest, community, and the slow work of allowing what you have received to take root.
Across twelve months, Adelphos Alain Lea traces the Spirit's presence through the great movements of Christian life: creation and new beginning, guidance, surrender, resurrection, Pentecost, the fruit and gifts of the Spirit, prayer, Scripture, holiness, communion, Advent, and the coming of Christ.
Rooted in Scripture and attentive to the ancient rhythms of the Church, the journey follows the 2027 calendar while remaining usable in any year.
This is not a program for mastering the Spirit.
It is an invitation to become present to the One who has been present all along.
Begin the morning in His presence.
Learn His voice in the ordinary.
Walk through the year in the Spirit.
