pray as you can… (Celtic Daily Prayer)

“pray as you can, not as you can’t.”

~ from the ‘Spiritual letters of Dom John Chapman’

We continue commentary on this article from the Northumbria website. Midway through the article is this commentary about the Celtic Daily Prayer:

a) Liturgical Prayer – the daily use of the Divine Office (Celtic Daily Prayer). This is how our Rule puts it, “A daily discipline of prayer is important. It is often inconvenient and may be dry, but gives stability to our life, making prayer its foundation, and allowing God to teach us inwardly. The Office is there to serve us in this capacity, and it is recommended that Companions in Community use this as an expression of our common life in God.”

Maybe you’d like to give this a try if you haven’t already? If so, click HERE and try out the Morning Prayer. Better yet, try several of them to see what you think! And, if music frequently moves you closer to God, consider listening to and/or buying renditions of the Celtic Daily Prayer HERE

PRAYER: Creator God, continually remind us of those three hermits and their ‘Dear God, there are three of us and there are three of you, have mercy on us!’ prayer. May our lives become living prayers, stirred by the Spirit and our focus on you in all things, whether we can walk on water or not… Amen

Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit
