When Day Is Done: Nighttime Prayers Through the Church Year

The prayers in When Day Is Done are for those who want to end the day with a simple form of night prayer. Father Boyer offer selections here that correspond to the seasons of the liturgical year but are simple and easy enough to be prayed in a minute or two. Each is an original prayer that echoes words from the psalms and other biblical writings. His hope is that readers will keep these prayers on a night table or bed stand where they can easily reach them before turning out the light, when their day is done.
