RTE's An Evening Prayer has been running in one guise or another for much of the station's history. Beyone the era of 'closedown' and the National Anthem, An Evening Prayer has survived and continues to end the day for the nation. An Evening Prayer: Spiritual Thoughts to End the Day sees a selection of these helpful reflections and prayers gathered together for the first time. These are reflections for all, for the lonely, the isolated, the grieving. But here too are the words of love, of forgiveness, comtemplations of beginnings and endings, meditations for relaxation, for creativity, for courage, vitality and hope. These are thoughts to end the day, thoughts for our family and friends, to boost our hopes and soothe our fears. Words of creation, words of life.
