Continuing the tradition of centuries, Daily Prayer includes the major elements of the Breviary or Divine Office for the Catholic Church, in an updated one volume edition.
Daily Prayer is taken directly from ‘The Divine Office’, and includes the major daily offices of ‘Morning Prayer’, ‘Evening Prayer’, ‘Prayer during the Day’, and ‘Night Prayer’, for every day of the church year. The only omission from the full ‘Divine Office’ is the Office of Readings.
It is ideal for clergy, religious and for lay people who need a form of daily devotion or for those preparing for the priesthood, and can be used for either individual or group use.
‘Daily Prayer’ also includes updated tables of Moveable Liturgical Days, as well as the General Calendar.
This handsome volume comes in a sturdy binding with six coloured ribbon markers.
Raphael (1483-1520) was for centuries considered the greatest artist who ever lived. Much of what we know about him comes from this biography, written by the Florentine painter Giorgio Vasari and first published in 1550. Vasari's Lives of the Painters was the first attempt to write a systematic history of Italian art. The Life of Raphael is a key text not only for the appreciation of Raphael's own art - whose development and chronology Vasari describes in detail, together with the spectacular social career of the first painter to be mooted, it was claimed, as a Cardinal - but also for its unprecedented attention to theoretical issues.

The spellbinding new Robert Langdon novel from the author of The Da Vinci Code.
Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever”. The evening’s host is his friend and former student, Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old tech magnate whose dazzling inventions and audacious predictions have made him a controversial figure around the world. This evening is to be no exception: he claims he will reveal an astonishing scientific breakthrough to challenge the fundamentals of human existence.
But Langdon and several hundred other guests are left reeling when the meticulously orchestrated evening is blown apart before Kirsch’s precious discovery can be revealed. With his life under threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape, along with the museum’s director, Ambra Vidal. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret.
In order to evade a tormented enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Langdon and Vidal must navigate labyrinthine passageways of hidden history and ancient religion. On a trail marked only by enigmatic symbols and elusive modern art, Langdon and Vidal uncover the clues that will bring them face-to-face with a world-shaking truth that has remained buried – until now.
