"Prayers and Litanies for All Occasions" is a set of original prayers that
are generally modern in expression and sensitive to the present world realities and
sufferings while also being relevant to the Church context. Its liturgical focus is
reflected in prayers and litanies that can be purposefully included in Church/Christian
worship, suitable for all occasions. Apart from its general application, some prayers are
meant to be exclusively personal to the one who prays them. Thus, the overall objective of
the book is to bring the cosmic, the ecclesial and the individual dimensions of human
conversation with the Triune God into a wholesome unit. In short, this book is Christian
theology wrapped in prayers for everyone, everywhere and everyday.
