The Celtic Vision

Edited by Esther de Waal

Devotees of Irish spirituality—and those interested in Irish heritage—will cherish this authentic collection of Celtic wisdom and prayer. Assembled from the original six volumes of Alexander Carmichael’s Carmina Gaelic by noted Celtic author, Esther de Waal, this rich array includes elements of piety that address every side of life. Morning prayers ask God’s favor for a new beginning, while night prayers thankfully recall the blessings of the day gone by. Prayers for hearth, home, work and play sanctify every aspect of daily life. Blessings, invocations, and good wishes catch the Celtic spirit affirming the presence and power of the Creator.

Petitions to God for a safe journey and protection are mixed with humble prayers of acceptance at the time of death. Sections on Mary, the saints, angels, and Christmas carols add seasoning to this unique book of Irish spirituality. Providing an inspiring look into the Irish soul, The Celtic Vision will be treasured by all who look for a deeply personal spirituality, and by those seeking an intimate relationship with God.
