The domestic church is a place where holidays and family traditions are observed. In Prayers for the Domestic Church, Edward Hays offers a collection of blessings for special occasions of all kinds, including birthdays, engagements, gardens, and even pets. Prayers of gratitude rejoice in the gifts of our senses, work, friendships, and more. Prayers for times of sadness like an illness or death of a loved one are a source of comfort.
First published in 1979 when the idea of the family as a 'domestic church' was brand new, this groundbreaking book helped establish Edward Hays as a pioneering spiritual writer and teacher. This new edition makes his beloved collection of prayers and blessings available to families and households of all kinds.
