Prayers for the Pilgrimage

In this compilation of prayers written during the pandemic by priest and theologian David Taylor, you'll find prayers for morning and evening, work and play-from Advent to Lent, from birth to death. Accompanied by a series of paintings by his wife, Phaedra, Taylor's prayers show us that there isn't any part of our lives that God doesn't see.
