Book Reviews of The Night Offices: Prayers for the Hours from Sunset to Sunrise
Book Review: Tradition Is Rich
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a book of prayers that are meant to be used from the hours between sunset and sunrise. It's more or less a compilation of scripture and prayers that have been prayed and recited throughout our common history. In a time in my life when I'm feeling like I have less and less to "tell God" and more and more to "listen to" . . . this book of prayers was like a deep well of treasures. In a Christian culture where a "good prayer life" seems to focus on "individualistic" wants rather than global needs, having a vast collection of well-worn prayers that have been repeated over and over for centuries is a nice change of pace. I'm not sure if some of my more Protestant friends will be comfortable with praying something that is not "theirs", but I think that's where the beauty lies. Praying something that is the community's yet uniquely individual. It's the best of both world. The community gives the gift that the individual can enjoy for the benefit of the community. Which I have a hunch is what is so powerful about the liturgies. My only complaint was that I got it from the library and only had it for 3 weeks. It's definitely on my early Christmas list.
