PREFACE
This collection of morning and evening prayers (originally published in 1994) grew initially out of my desire for a discipline and shape in daily personal prayer. During my time as Warden of Iona Abbey, members and associates of the Iona Community, whose first rule is to pray and study the scriptures daily, expressed the need for a prayer book for individual use. I hope these prayers will continue to be helpful to them and to the many others who have made use of this resource well beyond the bounds of the Iona Community.
On Iona people often indicated to me that they would like their prayers at home to be based on the major themes of daily prayer at the Abbey, and so I wove the weekly pattern of themes from Iona into this six-day cycle of prayer. On Mondays the emphasis is on justice and peace; on Tuesdays there is a concentration on prayer for healing; on Wednesdays the focus is on the goodness of creation and care for the earth; on Thursdays the theme is commitment to Christ; on Fridays there is a celebration of the communion of heaven and earth; and on Saturdays the emphasis is on welcome and hospitality. Originally I assumed that on Sundays the norm was to join others for prayer rather than being on one’s own. I continue to hope that this can be the pattern for our lives.
