While social distancing created disconnect, Bucey began a daily practice of writing a \"Tiny Prayer\" each morning and posting it on social media, each offering a reflection on what was going on in his own heart and in the wider world. Soon, a solitary practice became a communal one, with others engaging and sharing the prayers that touched them most, suggesting issues and topics for future prayers, and creating connection across a digital divide.\u003cbr\u003e Over the course of a year filled with fear and faith, protest and possibility, Bucey composed prayers for frontline workers and activists, those lost to illness and wins for democracy, for civic leaders, celebrities, and everyday emotions. While overwhelm threatened to engulf us all, these short meditations invited a combination of attention and intention in bite-sized form that aided the reader in focusing on one issue at a time, from the rise of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths, to police violence, social justice uprisings, immigrant detentions, catastrophic climate events, mass shootings, and violent right-wing insurrections. \u003cbr\u003e Now, all 366 \"Tiny Prayers\" are collected here, together forming a chronicle of a specific moment in time and modeling a form for everyone to compose their own tiny prayers to engage the everyday around them. \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Tiny Prayer\u003c\/i\u003e recalls a very particular year, but its spirit is universal, inviting all to quiet themselves, name the pain and the joy around them, and recommit to the change required for collective liberation, during the worst times and far beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eForeword by Pádraig Ó Tuama\u003c\/b\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Brief Introduction to Some Tiny Prayers, or The Longest Entry \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou'll Read in This Book\u003c\/b\u003e   xv\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Book of Tiny Prayer\u003c\/b\u003e   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/b\u003e   279\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685483213080,"sku":"9780823299225","price":13.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-book-of-tiny-prayer-daily-meditations-from-the-plague-year-paperback-softback-9780823299225","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
