To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings by John O'Donohue
I enjoyed adding these prayers and blessings to my regular BCP offices. Some of my favorite are a Prayer for Beauty (121), Prayer for Equilibrium (127), Prayer before Sleep (99), Grace Before Meals, Prayer on Waking, and Prayer for Axioms of Wildness.
There was some weird wording a phrases here and there, but I mostly just gave John O'Donohue the benefit of the doubt and kept reading. I also don't enjoy the gendered "threshold of womanhood/manhood." He probably could've talked about going into adulthood in general, instead of trying to talk on what it's like growing up as a little girl and suddenly being seen as a woman in the world. It did not sit well with me.
