I discovered a little book owned by my dear husband, Mr. Radiant Times, called Prayers of the Early Church which was originally complied and edited by J. Manning Potts and published in 1953. In subsequent posts, I will edit (updating antiquated language) and publish selected prayers here for the benefit of my readers.

First Century Prayers

I'm teaching a course in The Early Church and decided to begin each day with an early prayer. Always going to the web first, I found your post. Thanks!

This is the 3rd night in a row I've searched for ancient prayers of the early church.... most sites have just bits and pieces, or they're ads to sell books, etc. Thanks for posting these!
Thank you for posting the complete prayers. I'm looking for an ancient blessing written by the early church fathers called, "Putting Away the Sword." I'm not 100% sure that is right title. It was written to bless those returning from war with peace. Heard about it from someone who heard about it and we both are looking for it.
Have you heard of it? I think it was written before the 10th century. Thanks.
Yes. thank you for posting these - dangerous prayers, the prayers of Polycarp!
This is a great blog! Do you mind if I copy from your site?
I stumbled on your site looking for information about praying in the early church. I was blessed by visiting your blog. Thank you.
I'm glad these prayers are blessing all of you. Yes, copy freely, and link this page if you like, but the prayers are heart cries to our great God.

Thanks for posting these! Enjoyed reading and praying them... and went looking on Amazon's used book site for my own copy of Potts' little prayer book. Be blessed!
I, too was looking for prayers of the early church to share with my students. Thanks for compiling them.
I have also looked for the old prayers on the church online, what garbage Google led me to, until I ended up here. What a great find! Thank you so much for sharing these awesome prayers!
