The Episcopal Community Monthly Prayer Cycle This prayer cycle provides another tool you may use to be in communion with your sisters in The Episcopal Community. It is not intended to replace any daily prayer practices you already have. Some types of prayer, such as praise and confession of sin, have not been included as these are usually part of a daily practice. One day has been dedicated to thanksgiving, but, again, this is probably already a part of your daily practice. The page numbers refer to prayers or psalms found in the 1979 edition of The Book of Common Prayer.
