Marcelle Bartolo-Abela urges the world's people to take time every day to honor their creator. The text of "Thoughts for the Day: Reflections for the Soul" offers insight into Catholicism and what being a true Christian means in the author's view.
While I do not share the author's faith, I found the book easy to read and follow. Many of the meditations or reflections work to inspire a closer examination of one's purpose in life and place in the universe, no matter what religion you are.
Something I would like to see in future editions is an expansion upon each meditation. Maybe a page for the reader to write some thoughts and then upon turning the page, the author's explanation of that particular reflection in life.
The book contains many beautiful quotes, allusions, and thoughts. I believe this is a Christian-niche book that could find a wider audience if the author wrote an introduction explaining the purpose of meditation across religious bounds.
