Prayers for the Eucharistic Gathering

The First Prayer And Other Proper Prayers For Sundays And Special Days Of The Church Year,

by Eugene Andrew Lehrke

This volume brings to light some of the obscure development and history of the liturgy of the church catholic, particularly in regard to the First Prayer of the worship service. It then proceeds to offer fresh translations of the First Prayers, new Offertory Prayers, and Post-Communion Prayers, a meditation on each First Prayer, and the appointed lectionary readings for every Sunday and many festival days of the church year.

Eugene Andrew Lehrke has been a student of liturgy and a Lutheran parish pastor in five congregations in Canada and the United States since 1958. During this time he has made an extensive study of the ancient and contemporary developments of the catholic liturgy in context of parish ministry. A goal of his ministry has been to make that liturgy a living reality in each of his congregations. He presently serves at Zion Lutheran church in Finland, Minnesota.
