Structured daily prayer has been integral to Christian worship from the very beginning. Prior to the publication of the Book of Common Prayer, the Breviary included simple yet beautiful liturgies that were said before and after a midday or evening meal. These were lost at the Reformation, but in a simple and stylish modern translation this liturgical treasure is made available once again. A second section offers shorter graces for general use, again drawn from historical sources. A collection that will satisfy the demand for spiritual resources that are both ancient and contemporary, and a perfect companion to the Church of England's new breviary, Common Worship - Daily Prayer, this small volume will be welcomed by individuals, families, churches and religious communities.
