by Fr. Paolo Segneri, S.J. (1624–1694)
Segneri was the most celebrated preacher of Catholic Italy, and the Manna of the Soul is the book he wrote for ordinary days rather than the pulpit: a short text of Scripture and a few points of prayer, one for each morning of the year.
It asks a few minutes and gives you something to carry through the day. The first week of January is free to read below; the remaining 359 are reserved for the book.
