4.0 out of 5 stars Bedtime prayer, February 8, 2001

By 

Kim Boykin (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Night Prayer (Paperback)

The Christian "Liturgy of the Hours," or "Divine Office," includes prayers for various times of day. This book is a slim, inexpensive paperback of "night prayer," which is said just before going to bed. Night prayer includes a psalm or psalms, another short scripture reading, an examination of conscience, and various prayers and verses that are used every night (so after a while you'll probably have a lot of them memorized). Night prayer is the shortest and simplest of the daily offices of the Liturgy of the Hours. It can be said in about ten minutes, either alone or with others, and you just flip to the day of the week to know what prayers to say, referring to the appendices to choose a penitential prayer and an antiphon to Mary.

If this book isn't available on Amazon, you can get it from the USCCB Publishing web site.

This review is from: Night Prayer (Paperback)

I added my review so that a 5 star review would be available. I agree with the prior review. I have it on my nightstand so that I dont need to have the present volume of the 4 volume set, or even the single volume Christian Prayer book on my nightstand. Before I got this book, I had to crowd my nightstand with the much bigger books. Buy it. If you are reading this review, its probably because you pray the office. A great inexpensive convenience for the daily prayer warrior (perhaps even more for the occasional night prayer reciter like me -its never in the way).
