A wonderful gift for those who seek to find balance in their busy days and bring the practice of the Divine Office home to their own hearts. The author shows why the wisdom of pausing at these sacred times is a treasure that ought not to be lost.
Using scripture, poetry, reflections, personal stories, and quotes from a rich array of spiritual teachers, the author helps readers discover the archetypal images and special mood of each hour. This treasury of readings, antiphons, and simple breath prayers offers those who devote themselves to pausing - whether once a day or more frequently - the wisdom of living in the here and now and moving more harmoniously with the rhythm of day and night. Just as the monastic bell calls contemplatives to prayer, readers will hear an invitation to pause, pray and live in tune with the spirit of each hour.
