About the Author

The International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) is a collaborative body established in 1963 by bishops' conferences from English-speaking countries to translate and adapt Roman Catholic liturgical texts into contemporary English, ensuring accessibility and fidelity to the original Latin rites. Comprising scholars, theologians, and linguists, ICEL has played a pivotal role in the post-Vatican II liturgical renewal, producing editions that resonate with diverse congregations worldwide. Their work emphasizes clarity, poetic rhythm, and spiritual depth, making sacred prayers inclusive for modern worshippers. Notable among their publications is Christian Prayer (Large Type), a comprehensive prayer book designed for ease of use by those with visual impairments, offering daily offices, psalms, and devotions in an enlarged, readable format.
