Description
Twenty-five Biblical Prayers based on the Liturgy of the Hours
Paule Freeburg, DC and Christopher Walker
Teachers and catechists: are you looking for a way to inspire your children in prayer? Parish ministers: do you want to enrich retreats, RCIA and other educational programs?
Based on the Liturgy of the Hours, this one-of-a-kind resource offers a fresh and accessible way to introduce one of the Church's most ancient and cherished traditions.
Paired with beautiful artwork, these 25 prayer services span the liturgical seasons and specifically address themes such as "Celebration of Life (for birthdays)," "Creation," "Discipleship," "Prayers for the Sick," "Prayers for Those Who Have Died" and more. Psalms and readings have been adapted from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible and feature theme-specific musical responses that can be sung with or without accompaniment.
Each prayer (five to six minutes in length) follows the same simple format, opening with a sung invitation to prayer, followed by a spoken psalm, a reading with sung response and one of two sung canticles ("Canticle of Zechariah" or "Canticle of Mary"). Next, come the prayers of intercession with a sung prayer response, before closing with "May God bless and keep us."
While the prayer services are crafted so they can be sung a cappella, the accompaniment book—providing keyboard arrangements with guitar chords—and CD—containing vocal and instrumental tracks, plus recordings of two complete services (morning and evening)—help you bring the 30 songs in the prayer book to life.
