Daily Prayer - Common Worship

As a way of celebrating my completion of CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) I bought a copy of the Church of England’s Common Worship: Daily Prayer. This was a wonderful way to use to the gift of book vouchers given to me by the parish where I have been practicing for the past three months.

Well this is my second day of using the Daily Prayer. It is far easier to navigate around than the Catholic Morning and Evening Prayer Book and due to the singular focus on daily prayer it offers greater depth than A New Zealand Prayerbook. It is what I have been looking for for quite some time; it facilitates a daily cycle of psalmody complete with antiphons and flavoured by the nuances of the liturgical calendar.

Those in Auckland can buy a copy for $85 from Church Stores in Ellerslie. Yes, that’s a considerable price to pay but I think worthwhile if daily prayer is an important aspect to your spiritual practice.

Good Books NZ (an affiliate of Oxfam) are now selling Daily Prayer for the amazing price of $51.55 at this address: https://www.goodbooksnz.co.nz/book/UK-9780715120736

For those who might like to ease their way into daily prayer practice without buying a copy of daily prayer: visit the links I have included to morning and evening prayer on the Church of England’s Common Worship webpage.
