Author Description

Daily Prayer 2004 draws on the long tradition of Christian prayer, especially Liturgy of the Hours and lectio divina, "holy reading," providing a simple order of daily prayer for each day of the liturgical year. Each daily prayer is dated and includes a psalm, scripture reading, reflection, intercessions, the Lord’s Prayer and a closing prayer. The introduction provides a brief background on the tradition of daily prayer as well as ideas for using the book for prayer alone or with a small group. The portable size of this "everyday" book makes it convenient to carry in a purse, briefcase or backpack. Its easy-to-use format makes it a great introduction to Catholic prayer for catechumens and candidates for confirmation and full communion, and it provides an easy way for high school students, teachers and parishioners to get into a habit of daily prayer. Daily Prayer 2004 is ideal for • middle and high school students • teachers and catechists • youth groups • confirmation candidates • religious education programs with older students • catechumens and candidates for full communion • adult formation and prayer groups
