Daily Prayer is the first daily prayer book in the Church of England's
history. It contains a Daily Office - a collection of orders of service
designed to be prayed at different points through the day.
The services may be prayed individually, in groups, churches or in
religious communities. Drawing on the daily Bible readings laid out in
the Common Worship Lectionary, they allow Anglicans to link their personal devotions into the shared prayer life of the Church.
As well as the more traditional services of Morning, Evening, and Night Prayer, Daily Prayer
also offers Prayer During the Day, especially designed for those new to
regular liturgical prayer. Each service contains the three key elements
of praise, intercession and engagement with Scripture. Prayers are
included for both Ordinary Time and the seasons of the Christian year.
It contains:
The Calendar
Prayer During the Day
Forms of Penitence
Morning and Evening Prayer
Night Prayer (Compline)
Prayers of Intercession
The Litany
Collects and Refrains
Canticles
The Psalter
The Lord's Prayer and Apostles' Creed on the inside back cover for quick reference
This bonded leather edition of the Daily Office of
the Church of England makes a handsome addition to any liturgical
bookshelf and is an ideal gift for ordinands, clergy and readers. Bound
in crimson leather, it includes a slipcase.
