This edition offers a suggestive guide for praying the prayers of the presider in Catholic liturgy as a biblical-liturgical text suitable for public prayer leadership in contemporary English. The most prominent feature is the attempt to weave images and phrases from the scriptures of the day into the public prayer of the assembly.For each Sunday and feast, there is a suggestive introduction oriented to the readings of the day and season and feast. These are merely suggestive as introduction to the liturgy and invitation to prayer. A form of the three standard orations is given. There is a proper preface for each Sunday of the year, a marvelous opportunity to recapitulate the scriptures. For the proper seasons from Advent to the Baptism of Jesus, and from Lent to Pentecost, as well as some special feasts, there is an entire eucharistic prayer, again suited to the readings and season. The liturgy becomes a tapestry of spirituality composed of the scriptures and mystery of the day.
