Good Morning, Everyone! This is a good day, even particularly in a troubled world, to praise the Lord.
As the day begins, this antiphon from today’s Office of Readings sounds in God’s ear, rising from the lips of those praying around the world.
“Lord, You know the burden of my sorrow.”
God’s response is, “Ask that you may receive and your joy will be full.”
Prayer:
“Rise up Lord in defense of Your people. Do not hide Your Face from our
troubles.”
Prayer in the wee small hours, at Adoration or on the go, what a blessing! Listening and praying with a community at prayer, that’s what DivineOffice.org offers. It’s a banquet that Lent allows, even encourages! It is also good to remember that the Liturgy of the Hours is meant to be prayed aloud and in community.
Dane , the producer, offers free daily inspirational scriptures and prayers. His crew is talented and dedicated to bringing us Divine Office. They are “promoting the tradition of praying always through these ancient treasures of the Church.” This is not a blessing for Catholics only but for all Christians universally.
Lent is here. “There are few better ways to improve your observance of this season then to pray the Liturgy of the Hours as often as your schedule allows,” according to Dane at Divine Office.org. He says, “Instead of laying something down for Lent, you may want to consider taking something up… a renewed and invigorated dedication to prayer.”
“We hope everyone will enjoy these free daily inspirational scriptures and prayers. Listening to psalms in the morning as you start your day or at the conclusion in the evening is a wonderful form of prayer.”Dane
Be Holy!
