Reflections for Daily Prayer is a new series of Bible notes, offering contemporary, stimulating responses to biblical passages in a handy format for Mon to Sat each week, designed to refresh and inspire times of personal prayer. Following the Lectionary readings for Morning Prayer, the new notes contain the Collect – a prayer chosen specially for that day – and a reflection on one of the day’s Bible readings. Please sign the list if you wish to get a copy, they are £3.99 each. In addition Fr Neil will be preparing a simple form of prayer which can be used at home starting at Advent.
