Celtic Daily Prayer

Product Information

There is a flexibility within the format suggested by the authors and the material can be used in a group or individually. Then there are precious graces for for the celebrations of birth, rebirth, marriage, growing older, and bereavement. Or sometimes, on the phone with a sobbing friend - together we have said prayers to bless a sick child or comfort the dying ones. Patrick's Breastplate, Teresa's Bookmark, Columba's Blessing, and the Psalms, this cycle of daily prayers reflects the essential rhythms of life. This sense of the reality of what the incarnation brings into our world — both on a personal and a public level — is best reflected in the book’s prayers, which are beautifully and authoritatively written.

Others find it a welcome opportunity to withdraw from the tensions and busyness of the day to spend some time quiet and alone with God, putting the day’s work into a different perspective. A regular cycle of daily prayers constitutes the essential rhythm of life, around which other activities can take their proper place. As a charity, we rely on fundraising and gifts in wills to deliver Anna Chaplaincy, Living Faith, Messy Church and Parenting for Faith. Sung and spoken versions of Morning, Midday and Evening Prayer; and Complines for each day of the week.Celtic Rhythms of Life contains ready-to-use forms of prayer for morning, midday, evening and night, seven days a week.

Here you will find a list of Saints and Holy Days with brief biographies and references to the other sections of the book for suggested scripture readings.
