Reason #94753 I love praying the Liturgy of the Hours

Only in praying the Liturgy of the Hours do we get to pray

As for man, his days are like grass;

he flowers like the flower of the field;

the wind blows and he is gone

and his place never sees him again.

Ps. 103:14-15

and then immediately pray

Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.  Amen.

and do it all right before Christmas.  There’s just something about not always being able to pick for yourself what part of the Bible you’re going to read that’s both revealing and refreshing, and I must say quite freeing.  As I’ve been taking to saying a lot more lately, God knows what He’s doing…
