David Adam believes that praying regularly transforms our worship at home and in church – and transforms us too. Here, to help in our preparation for worship, he offers intercessions, forms for the peace and blessings in the Celtic tradition that link with the readings for each Sunday and great festival of the Christian year. Glimpses of Glory follows Year C of the Revised Common Lectionary, and like its companion volumes, Clouds and Glory and Traces of Glory, will benefit those who do not use a weekly lectionary and those who do.

 ’It is amazing how many situations are suddenly washed with a new brightness when we know that God is there and that God cares’, writes David Adam. ‘Intercession is a method of stopping and getting glimpses of the hidden glory of God’.
