http://cradleofprayer.org/Advent SAMPLE 2Welcome to the Cradle of Prayer.  May these readings and songs refresh your mind, heart, and soul as we walk in the path of our Lord together.  These recordings were developed with you in mind, just you, in your personal need for His word and peace.  As you listen, we welcome you to participate, where you might find yourself in a prayerful chapel with only your priest and cantor. It's time made for you without the distractions of our world.For every morning and night there is a service meant for our hearts and minds to enjoy and follow. Each reading will include a psalm, an old testament scripture, a new testament scripture, and many prayers. During the service you will hear canticles, or psalms, sung simply and acapella - as well as prayers you may recite along with your priest. Services last anywhere from 12 to 18 minutes and can be enjoyed from your own home, car, or wherever you may be!These prayer services are drawn from the Book of Common Prayer developed by Thomas Cranmer.  Cranmer, in 1549, wanted to restore the Bible, whole and uncontaminated, to its primary place in our liturgy.  He also wanted to develop a service that would be "common" to each congregation, and written so that it could be used and understood by the 'average' person.
