A collection of intercessions to accompany the Church of England Common Worship Lectionary, years A, B and C, all in one volume. Each petition includes a focusing bidding with some dots to indicate where intercessors may address specific concerns, a gathering sentence and a responsory.The intercessions are compatible with the traditional areas of church, political governance/world concerns, neighbourhood, sick and deceased.As the author has drawn primarily on the gospel for inspiration, the prayers will be relevant however many readings are used in a given service. The Revd Ian Black is Vicar of Whitkirk. His first book, Praying with the Calendar of Saints and Holy Days, was published by SPCK in 2005.
