Well, for the past month and a half, I have been a bit slack on my spiritual life. I haven’t really been reading much in the way of theology or within my faith (although I have done some “recreational” reading), and I have missed more of my prayer hours that I would have liked. That has started to change today though, I am going back to my prayer life, although on a different schedule than I had as a Hermit.
I will not be getting up at Midnight to do the Office of the Readings, but will be doing them right after getting up at 5AM. The Church I go to now does the Morning Offices prior to Mass, so I will be doing this Hour with the Congregation present at Mass. The rest of the hours will remain at or close to their normal times. 🙂
In Christ,
Don
