This pocket companion contains the complete four-week Psalter, sufficient material from the Proper of Seasons to allow for seasonal variations, and texts from selected feasts and solemnities. Lay people especially will be interested in this introduction to the prayer of the Church. (It's less intimidating than attempting to pray the entire Office.) It also makes a convenient travel edition for clergy who would normally use either Christian Prayer or the complete Liturgy of the Hours./p>

Words do not always come easily when we want to talk with God. Inside this small book are dozens of prayers to help you find your voice. Though woven around the liturgical year, they can be used at any time and opened to any page, whenever your heart yearns for an encounter with God. Also included are the traditional prayers of the Church, as well as memorable prayer words for special occasions and feast days.
