This prayer book is the only one that has worked for me. December 7, 1997
25 out of 25 found this review helpful
I started using the seven day-of-the-week prayers a year and a half ago, and I have not missed more than one morning in all that time. I can hardly believe it myself. No other prayer book I have used in my adult life has been so effective or so stimulating. One reason: the call to silence built into the middle of each prayer. Another: the open segment inviting me to pick a short passage to add for that day. If I don't have anything else to hand the many blessing prayers in the book are a great resource. Another reason: these prayers are deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, but not aggressively so. Their tenor opposes all sectarianism. Whenever possible Hays avoids language that might alienate or exclude non-Catholic Christians or believers in non-Christian traditions. Those praying are invited to join their prayers with those of all who seek truth "with a pure heart." Another reason and not a small one: Hays' spirituality grows out of the ancient Judeo- Christian tradition of the centrality of blessing: God blesses us, we return the blessing, and we bless and rejoice in God's ongoing creation of the universe and us. -Mark Infusino

This is a prayer book for families today: it has prayers for real situations and celebrates the domestic milestones, not just the church's sacramental ones. (Although there are prayers for those, too.) i don't know if there is anyone that cannot relate to this book, whether they are into organized religion or not.

Over the years we have bought about 15 copies of this book. Others see us using it and ask to borrow it. Of course it never returns. We have used it for many occasions and have alwsys found the right prayer. Most of all it lives up to its' title "Prayers for the Domestic Church".
I recommend it without reservation.

A wonderful resource September 11, 1999

Prayers for the domestic Church is a wonderful resource for those who wish to pray, but struggle. I found when I would start with one of the prayers, I was able to express myself in my own words and found when I couldn't, it was because the prayer spoke for me. I found this to be helpful is bringing my family together and in seeing the world in a different way.
A great source of wonderful, family based prayers. June 7, 1998

This book has been a part of our family for eight years now, and it has been a blessing in itself. It has been a great source of prayer and has brought my family closer together in the sharing of its multiple prayers and blessings. This book seems to have a blessing for everything and every occassion. I highly recommend this to families, especially those with children in their formative years.
