The Vatican Council reminded us that, Morning and Evening Prayer are the two hinges on which the Prayer of the Church turns. The reflection on life, alongside the words of scripture, has been a daily practice in the Church since earliest times. This book continues that tradition, offering a simple form of prayer for individual or communal use, at the start of the day.

This book is presented as a partner volume to Prayers to Close My Day. It is offered as a way of prayer for busy people. It is also offered as a resource to Christian communities, who would like to start their day with a simple form of prayer. It can also serve as an occasional alternative to the full Office of the Church, for religious communities and parishes.
