McEvoy","rating":"5","title":"Sure to be loved by children.","text":"I received a digital copy of this book as a surprise gift. I did not know anything about it before I started looking at it. I read it through and then reread it again the next day. It is a wonderful volume for families and for little ones. I really wish it had been available when my own children were younger. I have given my children several prayer books over the years and this is one I would have picked up a copy for each of my kids.\r\n\r\nThe description of this volume states:\r\n\r\n“Visit we beseech thee Lord\r\nThis house in which we dwell,\r\nLet Angels who abide herein\r\nThe devil’s snares dispel,\r\nIn peace, please keep our weary heads,\r\nAnd your blessings always as well.\r\nThrough Christ our Lord,\r\n\r\nAmen.\r\n\r\nTeach your children the timeless rhythm of prayer with A Very Little Office of Compline. When praying the psalms and hymns of the Divine Office in the given hours of the day, we truly “pray without ceasing.” This gift of prayer that orients us always toward God can be enjoyed by even the littlest of souls. Compline, prayed in the last hour, is especially enriching for children because it sets a nighttime prayer routine. Compline includes psalms and hymns that ask God for His protection while we sleep. A Very Little Office of Compline can be used to pray the Liturgy of the Hours as well. These prayers, complete with elegant illustrations, were faithfully adapted by Bo Bonner so that your children are introduced to the beauty and depth of the Divine Office in an approachable way.”\r\n\r\nAbout the author we are informed:\r\n\r\n“B.G. ‘Odo’ Bonner, Obl. O.S.B., is an Oblate at Clear Creek Abbey in Oklahoma, and took his oblate name after St. Odo of Cluny. He and his wife have been married for over two decades, and have five children. He converted to Catholicism during Protestant seminary, and beyond writing poetry, also teaches and speaks on philosophy, theology, and literature. He was born on the feast of St. Blaise, patron of throats, and has not stopped talking ever since.”\r\n\r\nAbout the Illustrator:\r\n\r\n“Gwyneth Thompson-Briggs is a contemporary sacred artist in the perennial Western tradition. Her art decorates churches, schools, and private homes throughout the Americas and Europe.
