How often have you searched in vain for just the right prayer or ritual for a small group or parish gathering? How many times have you spent an hour looking for a brief reflection for your faith sharing group or pastoral team? Search no further. Whether it's Advent or Pentecost, a birthday or Valentine's Day, Joyce Rupp has just what you are looking for. Out of the Ordinary contains over 125 thoughtful compositions drawn from the author's treasure trove of never before published work. Joyce Rupp, whose books have proved to be thoughtful and prayerful companions to their many readers, offers here prayer resources for a wide variety of needs and times, including: The Liturgical Seasons, The Natural Cycle of the Year, Ministry and Service, Mary and the Saints, The Work of Justice, Difficult Times, and Family Occasions. Including resources for both groups and individuals, these prayers, rituals, guided visualizations, reflections, and poems can be used to open or close meetings, or as the centerpiece of prayer sessions or day of recollection. And when used in the context of worship and small group prayer, they can be duplicated without cost or written permission! Also available on CD are musical recordings of the chants included in the book. Joyce Rupp's website
