The Glenstal Prayerbook – 2025 edition

The Glenstal Book of Prayer was published in 2001. The world has moved on; life has got busier – prayer has not changed. But there seems little time for something extra, especially prayer. This book is based on the premise that, though busier, our lives are deficient without a connection with God.

The Glenstal Prayerbook provides a traditional approach to prayer reflecting the monastic prayer life in Glenstal Abbey.

Eugene Peterson’s influence runs throughout this Prayerbook. His translation of the Bible, The Message, has been used for all biblical texts. This contemporary translation uses a lively, fresh idiom which we hope will help you to engage with these texts.
