An illustrated collection of 20 short prayers -- traditional and new -- from the distinctive Celtic Christian tradition. The prayers all speak of God's care and protection in the everyday things of life. They ask simply and earnestly for God's blessing: that God would guard us, guide us and do good things for us through all our days. Their combination of determined faith and a deep respect for the natural world has a strong appeal today. Among the 20 prayers are classics attributed to St Patrick, St Columba of Iona, prayers from the great Carmina Gadelica collection, and prayers newly written by Lois Rock in the Celtic style. Also in this series: Simple Prayers, 0 7459 4550 3, GBP3.50

Her other books include Sun-Day, Moon-Day and Stories from the Sea (Bloomsbury).
For hundreds of years, the Celtic peoples have lived on the rugged westerly shores of Britain and France. They have known the fierceness of stormy seas and wild weather, and the beauty of pastures growing green under clear blue skies. They have known the uncertainty of life in a world that is beautiful, puzzling, and sometimes threatening.
Celtic Christians believe in a God who has made everything, both sunshine and storm, and they turn to God for help and protection in all the details of everyday life. Their traditional prayers, handed down through the generations, ask simply and earnestly for God's blessing: that God will guard us, guide us, and do good things for us through all our days.
Each day be glad to thee,
No day be sad to thee,
Life rich and satisfying.
From Carmina Gadelica
May God's goodness by yours,
And well and seven times well
May you spend your lives.
From Carmina Gadelica
