Icons of Glory: Prayers for Festivals and Major Saints Days

Each set of intercessions prays for the Church, the world, the local community and our homes, the sick and those in need, ending with a remembrance of our loved ones departed. The short introduction to each festival will help focus on that event. There is also an opening prayer, readings from the Scriptures, an offering of God's peace and a blessing. The book aims to bring to God the concerns on our hearts throughout the seasons, knowing all are in the heart of God and that he loves the world with an everlasting love. Each festival reveals something about God's love, compassion and saving power. If we spend time at home with these prayers they will enrich our worship within the Church and help us to deepen our understanding of the festivals.
