The purpose of this website is to collect prayers for my personal use: but they are here for you as well. I’ve designed it for access via my iPod Touch: the idea being, I don’t want to offer myself any excuses any more.
I hope to expand this collection. Eventually, I see this developing into an online collection of useful prayers. Maybe.
Yes, I’ve crossed the streams: I’m a Liturgical Hunter/Gatherer, a Palaeolithic Liturgy Geek. I weave a healthy dose of the Book of Common Prayer with Byzantine liturgy and modern, inclusive language as well as my own personal devotions and even non-Christian sources. And sometimes it may change.
Eventually, I hope to include some Holy Images, maybe some audio (but I don’t know how that will work on the iTouch). All in good time.
Yes, comments are not allowed on these pages like they are on my blog, Sarx. Feel free to contact me over there (or by email - take out the spaces, etc) if you want to ask a question or share a prayer request!
I don’t promise I’ll always pray for you: I promise I’ll try to.
