This lovely little book is a wonderful merging of contemporary and Celtic ritual and spirituality. Whilst beautiful in its simplicity it incorporates a wealth of ritualistic wisdom and prayer for all occasions ranging from joyful to solemn. Clear instructions are given into creating sacred space in the home and this book works equally well for those who wish to bring more Christian ritual into the home or for those who would welcome a re-introduction to Christian ritual in their lives.
Readers are brought on an odyssey through numerous Christian festivals during the course of the year which can be celebrated in the home and participated in by all members of the family. The book begins by preparing for Easter and placing the crucifix, the central symbol of the Christian home in a suitable place and like all rituals this is one in which the role and participation of children is considered important. Other rituals include Celtic Bed Blessings, Blessings before going to work or taking exams, Prayers for various Seasons which incorporate the Solstices and Equinoxes , for Pregnancy and Childbirth, Remembering the Dead and Advent. This is a book which will enhance the spirituality of any family seeking to welcome Christian ritual into the home.
The Little Book of Christian Rituals in the Home by Tom Gunning, published by Veritas Marie McKenna.
