This work is a collection of prayers and blessings for various occasions. The source of much of the material in this volume was previously compiled in A Manual for Priests in the American Church. These contributions, with several additions, have been revised and presented in contemporary language. Prayers and Blessings is presented in a concise and easy to use format and will serve as a valuable resource for ministers from many Christian backgrounds.

Prayers and Blessings is divided into three sections. The first section, Prayers, is a collection of over one hundred prayers related to topics such as Christian Family Life, Education, Graces, Travelers, The Church and many others. The second division, Blessings, gathers blessings for many occasions in one convenient location. Blessings include those for Crosses, Candles, Palms, Ashes, Holy Water, and many others. The final section, Additional Devotions, includes The Asperges and The Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Prayers and Blessings promises to be a valuable resource for the "ancient-future" Church.
