AUTHORS' PREFACE
Welcome to an adventure unlike any you've been on. No matter who has gone this way before you, now is your time for an appointment with the destiny of parenthood. Each story is unique. Yours begins nowand will continue forever.
The newborn baby demands and deserves a lot of attention. And as new parents, you too need support and affirmation. This is a vulnerable, formative time for you and your child alike.
Through this collection of meditations, we want to walk with you into some moments of reflection on the awesome prospects ahead. We hope someone was kind enough to give you this book as a gesture of support. Perhaps they also know how precious it is to find rare moments for spiritual nurture during the first days and weeks of parenting a newborn child.
This companion for your spiritual journey will be used best if you as parents can work with it together. It is intended to strengthen your unity as partners in the venture, to ground you in the wisdom of the generations before us. Most of all, these reflections are designed to nurture your spirits, reconnecting you with the One who made us all. You are not alone!
May God be your strength by day, and your song in the night.
