Occasional Prayers for the School Year Summary

Occasional Prayers for the School Year by Grainne Delaney

The book is intended for busy teachers, chaplains or anyone who often reaches for a prayer or service, but finds themselves grabbing material from many different sources. The author has worked a Jesuit school for over 20 years, where school gatherings are common and are always prefaced with prayer. She has regularly searched for and written different prayers to suit moments in the school year, to suit a moment in time. Sometimes she had time to prepare and other times, she found herself running along corridors to pull something from her files or turning to the internet while the bell was ringing! She often wished she had a book under her arm that she could trust would always have something to suit. So she put her prayers together as a go to for people who lead prayer, who provide calm and stillness for others but may have felt frantic in 'finding the right piece.'

She has also included a couple of poems from young people as an example of how they continue to inspire her.
