This Order of Daily Prayer is designed to allow Scripture to stimulate and to express worship of the God of whom Scripture speaks.
A form of prayer is provided for morning and evening under a series of headings. These headings reflect the liturgical seasons, but are not intended to be tied to them. Thus the form under the heading ''The Suffering Christ' could well be used in Holy Week, but no less appropriately when commemoration of a part of the church under persecution is made.
The form consists primarily of psalms and canticles which are intended to be recited slowly, quietly and reflectively, so that they may become part of us and give voice to our own prayer. Some suggestions for a simple, reflective way of singing psalms are included.
There is provision for silence within the order. It is helpful to keep a period of silence also before and after using it. A short form has already been published. Some will find this enough. Others will want to use the additional material provided here.
The material provided should be used - or omitted - as is found most helpful.
