More Than a Devotional

Divine Pursuit is a nine-volume, 360-day daily formation series designed to move you from knowing the faith to living it — one day at a time.

Each day includes Scripture, reflection, a virtue focus, and a practical challenge rooted in the Catholic tradition. Whether you receive it by email each morning, read it in a digital book, or hold it in your hands as a paperback, the content is the same: a daily invitation to grow deeper in holiness.

Written by Deacon Ken Gay and published by The Divine Life Press, Divine Pursuit has guided hundreds of Catholics through a year of intentional, structured formation.

  • Daily Scripture, reflection, and prayer — delivered every morning
  • A virtue focus each day rooted in the Catholic tradition
  • Practical journaling prompts to deepen your reflection
  • Nine volumes — 40 days each — over a full year of formation
  • Available by email, eBook, or physical paperback
  • Written by an ordained permanent deacon with over 20 years in formation ministry

A Day in Divine Pursuit

Every day follows the same prayerful structure. Here is what a typical morning looks like when you open Divine Pursuit.

Sample Day
Divine Pursuit  ·  Volume I  ·  Day 1

Glorifying God in All Things

Lord God, as I begin this day I offer You my mind, my heart, and my will. Let every thought I think, every word I speak, and every action I take give glory to Your name. Teach me to see You in all things and to pursue You above all things. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
"Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." — 1 Corinthians 10:31

The Christian life is not a set of rules to follow but a person to pursue. At its heart, holiness is not about perfection but about direction — the steady, daily turning of the heart toward God. When Saint Paul tells us to do all things for the glory of God, he is not raising the bar on ordinary life. He is revealing that ordinary life is already sacred ground.

Consider what it would mean to bring this awareness into your morning. The first cup of coffee, the commute, the first difficult conversation of the day — all of it can become an offering. All of it can be a pursuit.

Lord, help me to find You in the ordinary moments of this day. Let nothing be wasted and nothing be outside Your grace.

Devotion is the ready willingness of the will to give itself entirely to God. It is not a feeling but a choice renewed each morning.

Choose one task today — something routine and unremarkable — and offer it intentionally to God before you begin. Notice what changes.

  • Where in my daily life do I most forget that I am in God's presence?
  • What would it look like to give this one day entirely to His glory?
  • What small offering can I make to God before I close my eyes tonight?

About the Author

Deacon Ken Gay

Deacon Ken Gay is an ordained permanent deacon in the Diocese of Rockford, Illinois, and the founder of The Divine Life Press. For more than twenty years he has led men's formation programs, parish retreats, and discipleship initiatives across Western Illinois and beyond.

Divine Pursuit grew out of his conviction that Catholics hunger for more than an occasional retreat or a Sunday homily — they need a daily, structured encounter with God's Word that fits into the rhythm of ordinary life.

He is a husband, father of thirteen children, and grandfather, and he writes with the authority of someone who has lived what he teaches.
