CV NEWS FEED // The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has authored a new book of prayers centered on protection against evil, according to a recent news release.
Published by the Catholic Truth Society (CTS), Deliver Us From Evil “is a set of useful prayers and supplications, humble requests for the Lord’s help , that can be used by Catholics in times of fear, distress, or temptation.”
The booklet contains prayers of protection, thanksgiving, faith, and confidence, the release stated.
“We are not centrally a people who are overawed by evil. We are centrally a eucharistic people of thanksgiving,” said Fr Robert Taylerson, who is a member of the Spiritual Committee for the Bishops’ Conference. “The evil which we see, which distresses us and causes us lament, prompts us to renew our efforts and our journey of prayer.”
He continued:
Prayer of its essence always renews hope […] The ideal prayer is also to have one’s heart in union with the heart of Christ. And that’s something that both unites God’s people as the body of Christ and enables the full power of God’s spirit to work through us, who are the body of Christ, and to see it all as a great privilege.
Deliver Us From Evil is available to purchase on the CTS website.
