OverviewThis Benedictine prayer companion presents a modern reworking of the ancient monastic practice of praying at set hours. For each season of the Christian Year, it provides eight short, simple prayer outlines, complete with readings: * Waking as an occasion for praise * Discernment at the beginning of the day * Wisdom for the mid-morning reflection * Perseverance at midday * Love as a focus of the afternoon * Forgiveness as the day closes * An invitation to Trust at bedtime * Midnight at the time to Watch 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. 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.
