When Father Anthony Bullen first produced his 'Catholic Prayer Book' Cardianl Heenan commended it with this words: 'Though intened for adults the text is simple and quite intelligible to older children...parents will find this book most helpful when they lead their children in family prayer each night. The short readings from scripture are admirably chosen.' In welcoming the revised edition I predict that its previous success will continue. In a time of great liturgical change there is a need (and clearly a felt need as this book's popularity would indicate) to nourish the more personal and devotional side of our faith and prayer life.
