"Through Your Mercy, O Our God..." Prayers from the Mozarabic Church (Revised and Translated) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798603085722)

* This book is a collection of prayers from the Mozarabic tradition that are in the public domain, but in this book they have been revised into contemporary English and are modified so that they are readily usable for private and public worship. * Some prayers are newly translated from the Latin originals and may be appearing in English for the first time.* This book is meant to be a comprehensive collection that contains most Mozarabic prayers available, drawn together from many original sources, namely, the Mozarabic breviaries, missals and psalters. The Mozarabs were Christians who lived in Spain under Islamic rule. The prayers in the Mozarabic Rite are free in style and substantial in meaning. Most of the prayers also seem to be very direct in presenting gospel content. They are also very consciously biblical. Some of the Mozarabic prayers also have a definite structure. Sometimes the structure is similar to the parallelism in Hebrew psalms. Some prayers remind me of a modern bullet list. The content, structure and biblical foundation of the prayers give them a special beauty, along with deep meaning.
