Versus, <br />My piety is rather liturgical (no surprise there I expect) - I appreciate the forms and structures of liturgical prayer and enjoy praying with others more than conducting private devotioins. In that way, I've always thought I'd enjoy monastic life, at least for the daily prayer liturgies. Since I don't think my family would appreciate me moving to a monastary and since it's impractical for me to pray the daily offices with others - I've found Tickle's "The Divine Hours" a good alternative. It provides for an individual to pray the daily offices - it offers liturgies for the Morning, Midday, and Vespers offices as well as liturgies for Compline. Tickle draws from the BCP and the Church Fathers for the offices. I know and even feel that I am praying with others as I pray these offices - with the Church as it were - even though I am using them for my "private" devotions. For these reasons I've appreciated this prayer resource. <br />Blessings,<br /><br />RARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914939.post-1107803190947744952005-02-07T11:06:00.000-08:002005-02-07T11:06:00.000-08:00Good Brother, I have seen the Tickle volumes (soun...Good Brother, I have seen the Tickle volumes (sounds slightly risque put that way, doesn't it), but I haven't spent much time looking at them. I gather from your using at least one of the volumes that you find it helpful, eh? Can you say more about why that is?<br /><br />Best,<br />DwightDwight P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849665963994688905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914939.post-1107533937482822702005-02-04T08:18:00.000-08:002005-02-04T08:18:00.000-08:00"What's going to guide your reflection during the ..."What's going to guide your reflection during the Lenten journey?"<br />What an important, pastoral question you pose, Brother! It urges me (further) toward reading "Discipleship" to guide my Lenten reflections.<br />I plan also to hold to the discipline of daily prayer, guided by Phyllis Tickle's "The Divine Hours". Do you know that resource? <br />Thanks again for the question. Blessings,<br /><br />RARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
