Daily Prayer
When I was in Oxford last summer, I often
went to Christ Church Cathedral for one of the offices of daily prayer,
usually evening prayer. It was wonderful stuff, even when I felt antsy.
The psalms, the anthems, the rhythm. I miss that.
One way to keep up with this tradition, is
through an app. Yes, an app. The Church of England publishes one
called, aptly enough "Daily Prayer," which offers three services for the
day, morning, evening and night. It's not the same as using a prayer
book or being in a sanctuary, but it's great that this aid exists.
Perhaps you'll give it a try. Perhaps you already have a preferred form
for your prayer routine. Just make sure you have one.
This Lent, let's all resolve to take up a prayer routine. We know someone is waiting to hear from us.
