Beautiful set of prayers

This books has lots of Christian prayers in the following order Morning Graces, Children's Graces, Graces for Every Day, Graces from the Bible, Poetic Graces, Graces from other Cultures, Musical Graces, Graces for Holidays and Holy Days (like Vacation, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas Eve and New Years), Graces for Special Occasions (like Weddings -- good for toasts btw -- Picnics and Bereavement) and finally Evening Graces. This one is from St. Francis Assisi that is short and sweet: Praised be my Lord for our Mother the Earth which Sustains us and keeps us and Brings forth diverse fruits And flowers of many colors -- And grass. And here's a lovely children's grace from Edith Rutter Leatham: Thank You for the world so sweet Thank you for the food we eat Thank you for the birds that sing Thank You God for everything. Amen I really like the book and I was very impressed by covering all exigencies. In parting I leave you with one from the Graces from Other Cultures, an Argentinean Prayer: God bless to us our bread And give bread to all those who are hungry And hunger for justice to all those who are fed, God bless to us our bread. I am sure you will like it as much as me and my family does the prayers are short and easy to memorize and a great comfort most of all.
