This beautifully
crafted daily prayer companion is for everyone who wants to integrate
spirituality with daily life. Rooted in one of the most pressing concerns of
our age, it offers a fourfold pattern for prayer throughout the day to renew
attention, understanding, compassion and delight towards creation.
Part One offers eight sets of morning, midday, evening and night prayers
where the seasons of the Christian year are paired with those of nature:
• The Path of Shadows: Winter - Advent and Christmas
• The Growing Light: Early Spring - Epiphany
• The Seed of Promise: Spring - Lent
• The Fire of Life: Beltane – Easter to Pentecost
• The Greatest Light: Summer - Ordinary Time 1
• The Gift of First Fruits: Lammas – Harvest
• The Time of Gathering: Autumn – Ordinary Time 2
• The Call of Memory- All Souls, All Saints
Part Two, Praying with the Elements, includes four rites for occasional
use. A sequence of newly written biblical canticles is also included and an
introduction to the nature of prayer. |
