This new second edition is an essential resource for those inspired by the Marianist approach to spirituality. From the initial glow of daybreak to one's last moments before slumber, there is a prayer in this new edition for every moment of one's day.

Blessed William Joseph Chaminade wrote: "To pray . . . is so to open the center of yourself to God that you are filled with his presence, enveloped in his light, and made whole by his truth."

"To help in this encounter, therefore, we present to all members of the Marianist Family this collection of prayers, some from Scripture, some from Christian inspiration through the ages, some for times of joy, some for times of discouragement. There are familiar prayers and those not previously known. There are official prayers of the Church and those of particular groups in the Church. There are prayers from Marianist tradition and those beginning a new tradition.

"This collection is intended for use in private prayer or in group prayer. It provides prayers for meetings of groups of the Family of Mary as well as for colleagues in various Marianist ministries." (Material is taken from preface to The Marianist Family Prayer Book.)
