Peaceful Prayer, Volume 1

Celtic harp brings new life to sacred melodies
Longtime pastoral musician Maureen Briare has gathered 16 traditional and popular hymns and worship songs in this unique instrumental collection. Through the prayerful beauty of her Celtic harp music, she breathes new life into these beloved sacred melodies. Peaceful Prayer draws the listener into the abundant hope and comfort of God's love and grace.

Four themed meditation suites
The recording consists of four themed meditation suites-Comfort, Heart of Hope, Peaceful Prayer and Gentle Grace. Each beautifully arranged suite is made up of four hymns and songs, including favorites like "Be Not Afraid" by Bob Dufford, S.J., "On Eagle's Wings" by Michael Joncas, "Because the Lord is My Shepherd" by Christopher Walker and "Jesus the Lord" by Roc O' Connor.

Great as faith-filled, healing background music
As a supplement, the CD liner notes include scripture and inspiring quotes from saints that can be spoken as reflection or used for guided prayer. This music is excellent as healing, faith-filled background music, and is especially good for use as therapy for hospital patients. From traditional Irish and Silesian melodies to all-time favorite hymns, Maureen has created a lovely, heartfelt recording to enhance times of quiet meditation.
