Description

PRE-ISBN.

A charming and useful (in most cases) pocket sized collection of forty-two short prayers and graces. Text on RHS, illustration on LHS.

For example, "A Benison on Wartime High Tea" (pg. 41, by Allan M Laing), which may come in useful in our present predicament (2011) of rapid food price inflation:

"Upon this scanty meal, O Lord,
Bestow a blessing in accord:
Pour Thy grace in measure small,
Lest it more than cover all.

Bless the tiny piece of ham:
Bless the lonely dab of jam:
Bless the sparsely-buttered toast,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."
