Praying the offices
For a long time I have been working on a rule of life--a pattern of spiritual disciplines that will sensitize me to God's presence. I confess I am not rigid. I simply try to do the spiritual practices more often than not. One daily practice I try to keep is to pray the morning and evening office. I have found it much easier to do every since I found online versions. I have discovered that if I really really want to know God, constancy is important. Teresa of Avila said "God will withold himself (sic) from noone who perseveres." And, I am not very good with constancy. But, saying the offices online has made a BIG difference in my daily practice. My laptop becomes my altar!
