Product Description
In the style of the best-selling An Iona Prayer Book , this new daily prayer collection provides outlines for morning, midday and night prayer each day of the week for a cycle of five weeks.
With a special theme for each day, it follows the pattern of worship in the church on the island that has been hallowed for centuries by the prayers of saints and pilgrims who still come in their hundreds of thousands each year.
Hallowed by the presence of saints and for centuries a haven for pilgrims, Lindisfarne, or Holy Island, off the Northumberland coast, is one of the world's most sacred places. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors still make their way across the causeway at low tide to experience the extraordinary spiritual energy that inspired Aidan, Cuthbert and other Celtic saints.
A Holy Island Prayer Book draws on the island's Celtic heritage to offer new and familiar prayers and readings for morning, midday and evening prayer for a cycle of five weeks. Following the pattern of daily worship in the island's parish church, each day has a special focus from resurrection and renewal on Sunday to rest and recreation on Saturday. Also included is an emphasis on the world and its need for peace and healing, making this a versatile resource for worship as well as a personal prayer guide that will help cultivate a simple and natural way of daily prayer.
