In Celtic Daily Light, author Ray Simpson, founding guardian of the Celtic Community of Aidan and Hilda on Lindisfarne, shares insight and inspiration with readers for each day of the year. Every day, readers will find:
-a passage of Scripture establishing the theme of the day
-a Bible lectionary consisting of a Psalm, an Old Testament and a New Testament reading
-a piece of literature or quotation about the Celtic saints, such as Samson or Brigid
-a prayer or prayers to link the day's readings in a powerful, intercessory way.
The great wealth of Celtic literature and the revival in popularity of the Celtic tradition offers a positive source of inspiring and deeply spiritual material, while still being practical for daily use. As Simpson writes, "The essence of Celtic spirituality is a heart wide open to God in every person, in all the world. It is to do with crossing frontiers, not erecting barriers. It goes so deep that, without losing what is distinctive, it becomes universal."
Celtic Daily Light will continue to inspire and guide countless readers seeking a deeper spirituality.
