Prayers during the Night - Softcover
How do you spend the night hours? Studying the stars? Snuggling contentedly under your covers? Dreading a recurring nightmare? Comforting a sick loved one? Struggling with insomnia by the flickering light of your television screen? Or perhaps you work a night shift under the glare of fluorescent light. In the night as in the day, we turn to our Creator and Savior with songs of praise and cries for help. This little book lifts up in prayer both the joyful and the fearsome mysteries that we experience during the night. Find strength, support, and insight in these prayers and reflections from scripture, from the liturgy of the Church, and from the writings of poets, saints, and thoughtful people from around the world and from different religious traditions. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.

From the Publisher:
Speak the word night, and a flood of images streams forth: darkness, danger, quiet, peace, fear, calm, worry, sleep, wakefulness, watching. Before the industrial age brought bright light to every hour of the day, the coming of darkness signaled the end of work and activity and the beginning of quiet and rest. Poets and saints have found night a privileged time for prayer and meditation, and a powerful image for the struggle for holiness which calls forth the soul into relationship with God. This little book offers prayers and reflections from scripture, from the liturgy of the church, from the writing of poets, saints and ordinary people of different countries and religious traditions. May they deepen the holiness of your nights, whether you wake or sleep.
