Celtic Daily Prayer

Product Information

A revised edition of this classic compendium of readings and prayers for every day of the year, with Celtic themes and inspiration.

We hear which carol, or poem, or prayer is special to them and why it has a special place in their hearts. This may seem unfamiliar to the many who are used only to modern language, but it is a deliberate attempt to highlight the contemporary relevance of the treasure of prayer from long ago.Patrick's Breastplate, Teresa's Bookmark, Columba's Blessing, and the Psalms, this cycle of daily prayers reflects the essential rhythms of life. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. However, if you wish to make any adaptations to the wording of our Daily Office, to the arrangement of the stanzas, or if you intend to insert any additional material within our Daily Office, please contact us to discuss your proposal further and seek permission for the adaptation. The ebook also contains the Scriptures for each day’s readings in full from the New Revised Standard Version Bible and music from the Celtic Daily Prayer CD (though the music files will not play on all devices). In this delightful and illuminating look into a crucial but little-known 'hinge' of history, Thomas Cahill takes us to the 'island of saints and scholars', the Ireland of St Patrick and the Book of Kells.

With the exception of the Daily Offices and Complines, which have been re-issued with melody lines for those parts where a sung version exists, the material included is new. The Celtic Christians beheld the world around them and perceived the divine life of God upholding every aspect of the material universe. Beautifully bound in a specially commissioned hardback cover with ribbon markers, this book is built to last. v=1683651580","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":27039831883967,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.CDP Book 1 has a new cover which is complimentary to CDP Book 2 and there are some minor amendments including an expanded Shabbat liturgy and an enlarged saints’ biographies and resources section.

Even people who hail from a different ethnic heritage will find that Celtic Daily Prayer offers community wisdom and a down to earth guide to daily prayer in the family. This collection of stories, meditations, poems and prayers evokes the authentic spirit of Celtic Christianity. At Nether Springs, the mother house of the Community, the Office is said or sung at set times in the chapel; when Companions in the Community meet together, saying the Office can be a routine part of the meeting; and individuals and families can use it in their homes as part of daily life. This is a ‘political’ book for it engages with 'the business of who receives what, when, where and how'.
