Prayers During the Night

How do you spend the night hours? Studying the stars? Snuggling contentedly under your covers? Dreading a recurring nightmare? Comforting a sick loved one? Struggling with insomnia by the flickering light of your television screen? Or perhaps you work a night shift under the glare of fluorescent light. In the night as in the day, we turn to our Creator and Savior with songs of praise and cries for help. This little book lifts up in prayer both the joyful and the fearsome mysteries that we experience during the night. Find strength, support and insight in these prayers and reflections from scripture, from the liturgy of the Church, and from the writings of poets, saints and thoughtful people from around the world and from different religious traditions.
