On the Liturgy of the Hours
In praying the Office, I'm being trained to quit trying to "get something out of" my reading of Scripture. It is a regular, daily practice, to be engaged in whether I feel like it or not. The Scripture reads me, and I sit with it, whether I'm in the mood for it or not. When it's done, I can trust that this is indeed part of being transformed by the renewing of my mind, whether I "feel" transformed or not.
Several friends responded to my post on the Office with thoughts of their own that are worth reading.
Bryan: testimony and resources
Peter: "...prayer and God's Word are bigger than me and what I'm feeling today."
A.: "Let it wash over me"
