In the Celtic way of prayer, the divine glory was intertwined with everyday events. The modern prayers in this book beautifully recapture that tradition. They were composed in a small parish in northern England to help individuals and groups refocus life’s simple rhythms toward the worship of God. This volume suggests prayers for individual devotions and for corporate worship, as well as for quiet days and retreats.
David Adam writes poetry and teaching materials for churches and is one of the best-loved figures in Celtic spirituality. He has been broadcast on TV and radio and speaks regularly about Celtic saints and their way of life.
This collection of 140 original prayers is suitable for anyone who leads public prayers or is looking for a resource to enrich private devotions. Covering a wide variety of subjects, the prayers are grouped under broad headings: “Through the Year,” “Church and Ministry,” “Pastoral Prayers,” “Community,” “Government and Justice,” “Home and Family Life,” “Food and Hospitality,” and “Devotional Prayers.” A comprehensive index is provided to guide you quickly to exactly what you need.
