Everyday Prayers for God's People

Ever felt the need of help in prayer? This book offers such help both to individuals and groups. It presents the experience of men and women of prayer over a period of some 2,500 years, including: the timeless wisdom of the Psalms, the noble simplicity of the Roman liturgy, the vivid earthiness of Celtic spirituality, the transcendent vision of Orthodox prayer, the liturgical tradition of Anglicans and Protestants , and Biblical canticles. In addition, it offers points for reflection for morning and evening from a wide variety of sources, ranging from the Fathers of the Church to contemporary secular writers. The four-week cycle of morning and evening prayer is designed to harmonize with the character of each day, such as the start of work on Monday, Friday as a day of penance, and Sunday, the day of the Eucharist. Various indexes help the reader to get the best out of the book. This book is a follow-up to the author's Daily Prayers for the People of God. Owen O'Sullivan is an Irish-born priest of the Capuchin Franciscan Order, and the author of many books.
