These opening prayers are taken from ICEL's beautiful, masterful work, the 1998 "Roman Missal that never was."  Use these engaging collects for personal prayer, in your parish meetings, on in other parish settings.

This much-praised and strikingly beautiful collection of prayers offers a satisfying resource to all who are looking for collects in a contemporary idiom. Dramatic in their imagery, richly biblical in their language and skilfully connecting the bible readings for the day, they will enrich worship by focusing hearts and minds on the scriptures read in church - and all this in a style which resonates authentically with the longings and hopes of those seeking God in today's world.

Clergy and worship leaders in many denominations now using the three-year lectionary will gladly welcome this splendid collection which includes prayers for every Sunday, holy day and major festivals of Years A, B, and C.In a response to the many requests for collects in a more contemporary idiom, this resource contains bold, striking, biblical and beautiful poems. They dramatically capture the Bible readings of the day and aim to inspire speakers and hearers alike.
