A collection of morning and evening prayers for each day of the week drawn from and based on the 'songs and prayers of the Gaels' collected by Alexander Carmichael in the late nineteenth century. Philip Newell, a former Warden of Iona Abbey, has focused each day's theme on an area of concern of the Iona Community: Justice and peace; healing; the goodness of Creation and care for the earth; commitment to Christ; communion of heaven and earth; welcome and hospitality. The elegance and pure simplicity of this book make it an ideal aid to daily prayer and contemplation.
