Daily Prayer for All Seasons

With simplicity and brevity, this all-in-one volume offers a realistic and sustainable pattern of prayer for anyone who feels too busy to pray. For every season of the Christian year, it presents a modern reworking of the ancient monastic practice of prayer at set hours. Beginning with a simple call to praise on waking and finishing with quiet listening at the end of the day, it includes outlines for prayer during the day based on themes of discernment, wisdom, perseverance, renewal, love, forgiveness and trust. Everything needed to follow the pattern of prayer is printed out in full, including scripture readings, short meditations, quotations from Christian writings, hymn texts and questions for reflection. Ideal for individual and group use, it offers a richly satisfying, inviting and challenging year-round prayer companion in fewer than 200 pages. Daily Prayer for All Seasons originated in the Episcopal Church of America (where it is authorised by the General Convention) and was compiled by a diverse team of priests, liturgists, writers and lay men and women. Bishop John Pritchard introduces this UK edition.
