"This book is designed to be a resource book for parishes. It provides prayer services for all kinds of occasions, seasons and programs…. Each service can be expanded, as needed, through the creative ideas of parish staffs. Each prayer provides a springboard for opening people to the action of God in the church community. Each set of prayers could spark ideas for other prayer topics."
