Book excerpt: Father Ralph Wright, a Benedictine monk, has contributed hymns of his own making to the one- and four-volume Liturgy of the Hours. In this book he includes his own prayers and poems and hymns-along with the Grail translation of the Psalter, forming a prayer book geared toward every liturgical season in the year-and each "season" of our lives (based on the sacraments). All the major feast days are featured with poems, hymns and psalms apposite to the occasion. This book also functions as a Poetry Supplement to the Liturgy of the Hours, whose all-too-brief poetry appendix has not been updated since 1975.
