Von der hinteren Coverseite

EACH LIGHT, EACH DARK
BE NEAR ME,
UPHOLD ME.

The ancient and beautiful tradition of night prayer finds beautiful expression in this collection of readings and simple liturgies which are shaped by Celtic spirituality.

When night closes in, we have to look at things differently. There are many sorts of night – the long nights of winter time, nights of difficulty or unanswered questions, times of loneliness and the apparent absence of God.

There is also the warmth of time spent with friends, the happy tiredness at the end of the day, the joy of the bridal night or thanksgiving at an evening meal.

BE WITH US, LORD.
WE HAVE JOY, WE HAVE JOY.

The Celtic understanding welcomes and celebrates the presence of Christ in all of these. The candle in the window burns.

WHEN I AWAKE,
I AM STILL WITH YOU.
