ABOUT THE BOOK 

The Cup of Our Life is a deeply personal and practical six-week guide to spiritual transformation. Using the everyday symbol of a cup as a metaphor for the human soul, Joyce Rupp invites readers to explore their internal landscape through daily meditations, prayers, and journaling exercises.

The book is structured around different "cups" that represent various life experiences: the Chipped Cup (our imperfections), the Empty Cup (spiritual dryness), the Overflowing Cup (gratitude), and the Broken Cup (suffering). It is widely used by both individuals and small prayer groups for its ability to turn ordinary objects into profound spiritual teachers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Joyce Rupp is one of the most well-loved Catholic spiritual writers and "midwives for the soul" today. A member of the Servite (Servants of Mary) community, she is an international retreat leader, speaker, and poet.

Rupp is known for her "trans-religious" appeal, blending Christian theology with a deep respect for the wisdom of other traditions and the natural world. Her work often focuses on themes of grief, transition, and finding the Divine in the "ordinariness" of daily life. She is also the author of other spiritual classics like The Circle of Life and Fragments of Your Ancient Name.
