Praying the Hours in Ordinary Life takes the reader and the worshiper on an excursion into an ancient practice. While providing a sense of the monastic life from which it is drawn, the book also provides the opportunity for individuals or groups of people to enter into the Opus Dei, the work of God: a life of prayer to which monastics have been devoted since the third century. With illustrations by artist Denise Louise Klitsie and poetry by Rainer Maria Rilke (translated by Martina Nagel), Lauralee Farrer and Clayton Schmit have provided a resource that allows believers to engage in a twenty-four hour pilgrimage of prayer, joining those whose life's work is to pray without ceasing.

Keeping a faithful prayer life with your family isn't easy. From herding distracted children to managing the seemingly endless litany of prayers and devotions, our spiritual life all too often feels frantic and burdensome. This isn't the way it should be. Our prayer life, our family life, and our work life should — and can! — be in harmony. When they are, our family is a powerhouse of grace, and Our Lord transforms our home into a little Eden — a little bit of heaven on earth. With simplicity and holy wisdom, authors David Clayton and Leila Marie Lawler show you how to bring peace to your home by integrating your family into the calm, truly joyful way of Mother Church. Her feasts and seasons, prayers and devotions are gifts that draw us closer to God and unfold before us His marvelous plan of salvation. To help you live the liturgical life of the Church more fully, David and Leila reclaim here an almost lost tradition that families used for centuries to build a beautiful bridge between home and church: the little oratory. Consisting of a modest table and icons, the little oratory is a visible sign of spiritual awareness and devotion. It extends the Eucharistic worship of the Mass into the heart of your home, spiritually nourishing your family and preparing them to transform the world through prayer and charity. Building your own little oratory is simple, and in these pages you'll discover just how easy it is. In fact, you likely have most of the pieces in your home already except, perhaps, the sacred art. That's why we've included here seven full-colored icons that are ready for framing, enabling you to get started right away! By following the wise advice in this book, you'll discover the peace and love that flows from a home that is focused on Christ. You'll also learn . . . How to use sacred art to strengthen your prayer life. How to extend Catholic beliefs and devotions into every room of the house. Why the Liturgy of the Hours is important and how it can make your family holy. How to pray the Rosary with children and keep the rowdiest of them calm and reverent. The active role children can and should play in the prayer life of the family. What to do when only one parent takes the spiritual life seriously. How to overcome the feeling that you're too busy to pray. Practical ways to extend the liturgical life into your workplace. And countless other tips to help you practice your faith in the heart of your home. Scott Hahn “This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen. How I wish I'd had it when I first became a Catholic, not just for myself, as a husband and father, but for my family, too. If one book has the potential to transform the Catholic family (and society), this is it.” Thomas Howard “This book is a rare treasure.” Christopher West “A superb guide to making that encounter of thirsts a lived experience in the home.” Daria Sockey, author of The Everyday Catholic’s Guide to the Liturgy of the Hours “The Little Oratory will help you discover a pattern of daily prayer that truly fits your family life while creating a place of beauty in the heart of your home." Andreas Widmer, author of The Pope and the CEO “An indispensable resource for anyone seeking to make their home a breeding ground for holiness.” Elizabeth Foss, Founder, In the Heart of My Home “Leila Lawler and David Clayton offer wisdom and grace to Catholics seeking to make their homes a holy shelter.” Joseph Pearce, Editor of The St. Austin Review “Wonderful, inspiring, and deeply practical.” Stratford Caldecott, an Editor of Magnificat UK “A great blessing to Catholic families.” Father Robert Reed, President, CatholicTV Network “A perfect guide for any family who strives to make their home a place to experience the majesty and beauty of the Divine.”

Nathan Foster has lived with the spiritual disciplines all his life, but has had to find his own unique path. As he sought - sometimes rebelliously - to develop habits that would enable him to live more like Jesus, he encountered problems both personal and universal. Gradually he discovered creative new ways to practice disciplines such as fasting, meditation and simplicity, to live as Jesus lived. With a foreword from Nathan's father Richard, who provides a fresh introduction to each of the disciplines, The Making of an Ordinary Saint invites us to be formed into the likeness of Christ's character.

A Shorter Breviary for Busy People Participate daily in the liturgical prayers of the Church. Sanctify the hours of your day with the Psalms and the Word of God. Nourish your soul with this sacred practice of ancient Christianity. Contains... Prayer Before Dawn Morning Prayer (Lauds) Mid-day Prayer Evening Prayer (Vespers) Night Prayer (Compline) and more... Introduction It is an ancient practice of the Church for individual Christians to set aside specific times of day to be sanctified by prayer. Indeed, this practice of offering formal prayer to God at particular times of day predates the Incarnation of Christ and reaches back to the ancient sacrifices and prayers established by the covenant with Moses. Even more than that, the sanctification of certain times of day harkens back to the very dawn of creation and honors the divine order God gave to the world when when he separated the light from the darkness and created the sun, moon, and stars to govern the passing of time. This sacred practice (known as the Liturgy of the Hours, the Divine Office, or even simply the Work of God), is the inheritance of each and every Christian, regardless of whether they are cleric or lay, monastic or living in the world. Indeed, in recent years the Church has renewed the urgent call to each man and woman of good will to embrace their precious inheritance as sons and daughters of God and revive the practice of liturgical prayer at the key moments of the day. Particular times of the day stand out as natural moments to be dedicated to God: upon rising just before dawn, morning praises as the day begins, midday prayers when the sun is at its highest, the evening sacrifice of thanksgiving and petition at dusk, completing the day at nightfall asking God to bless our sleep, and calling on God in prayer when we wake in the middle of the night. This simplified version even restores some of the more ancient elements that, although they have fallen out of memory in the West, are still in use by many churches in the East. This book of prayer is intended to be truly catholic in the sense that it is meant to be universal, taking into account the patterns of life of the modern world and bringing the ancient Christian inheritance to serve the needs of the present day in a way that speaks to a spirituality of sanctifying everyday life - a spirituality as old and as new as the Gospel itself. What's Included This newly edited volume includes an easy to learn, simplified-and thus memorizable(!)-form of the liturgical prayers of the Church for the various hours, including Rising, Morning Praises, Mid-day, Evening Prayer/Evensong, Night Prayer, and Midnight (corresponding to the traditional hours in the West of Matins, Lauds, Terce/Sext/None, Vespers, Compline, and Vigils). In addition to these liturgical prayers for the traditional hours, this book also contains formal prayers for various occasions in life such as a Song of Giving Thanks (translation and arrangement of the Te Deum), a Preparation for Confession and Communion, Litany of Supplication in Times of Need, Prayers for the Deceased, and others. Finally, this book also includes St. Benedict's life-changing compilation of "Tools for Living Well" as an aid in the Christian life to allow ourselves to be more perfectly transformed by God's grace. "In praying the liturgy of the hours the faithful are adoring God the Father in spirit and in truth; they should bear in mind that through this public worship and prayer they reach all humanity and can contribute, in no small way, to the salvation of the whole world." - General Instruction on the Liturgy of the Hours in the Roman Catholic Church "Pray Unceasingly." I Thessalonians 5:17

Today, churches desperately need praying people who understand the law of prayer. The reason I attached the word "law" to prayer is that prayer contains immutable truth. Indeed, the present age needs people who are able to gain the power that comes from the throne of grace in daily life through the law of prayer.The term "the critical point" in the title of this book refers to the phase change in which a substance changes from solid to liquid or gas. For instance, water boils intensely at 100 degrees centigrade. When it reaches 0 degrees centigrade, it begins to freeze. 100 degrees and 0 degrees are the tempera-tures at which water turns into gas and solid. Although water boils at 99 degrees, it is still liquid. But as soon as the moment of 100 degrees is reached, the form changes. If you apply this fact to your prayer, you will know that there is the critical point in your prayer that will come when you reach a certain moment. The critical point of this prayer is approximately three hours, and from this point on, your prayer will be completely changed into a festival and will be no longer a labor.However, not many people in Christian history have known and practiced the secret of such prayer beyond the critical point. Why is there a small number of people who have actually realized and practiced this powerful method of prayer? The answer is found in the words, "Only those who pray can learn prayer."The purpose of this book is in the actual exercise of prayer. It is to help believers continue to pray for a breakthrough of practical problems they experience in their prayer life. Through this book, you will experience the secret of breaking through all the failures, lethargy, lack, and fruitlessness of the past. And all will be possible only when you decide to pray.

The third and final volume in a trilogy of prayer manuals compiled by Publishers Weekly religion editor Phyllis Tickle as a contemporary Book of Hours to guide Christians gently yet authoritatively through the daily offices. The Divine Hours is the first major literary and liturgical reworking of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour prayer. This beautifully conceived and thoroughly modern three-volume guide will appeal to the theological novice as well as to the ecclesiastical sophisticate. Making primary use of the Book of Common Prayer and the writings of the Church Fathers, The Divine Hours is also a companion to the New Jerusalem Bible, from which it draws its Scripture readings. The trilogy blends prayer and praise in a way that, while extraordinarily fresh, respects and builds upon the ancient wisdom of Christianity. The third and final book in the set, Prayers for Springtime, provides prayers, psalms, and readings for this season associated with rebirth. Compact, it is perfect for those seeking greater spiritual depth. As a contemporary Book of Hours, The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime heralds a renewal of the tradition of disciplined daily prayer, and gives those already using the first two volumes the completion they are seeking. With this volume, the series culminates with three prayer manuals encompassing the liturgical and calendar year with the offices for every day.

This book of daily prayers, scripture, and meditations mixes traditional "fixed hour" prayer (morning, noon, evening, and night) with fresh, inclusive language. It offers a week-long cycle of devotion to God through the life of the Virgin Mary, traditionally recognized as first among the saints, and who has been cherished as a soul friend to Christians since the beginning of the church. Organized upon the joys and sorrows of the Marian Rosary, this prayer book encompasses the life of Mary as she followed her son and experienced her own discipleship. It gives those who use it a deeper appreciation of the life of the woman. It holds particular appeal for traditional prayer and study groups, like Daughters of the King, Julian of Norwich prayer groups, members of the Third Order of the Franciscans, and denominational women's organizations, spiritual seekers, plus all those drawn to a flexible, yet regular prayer routine.
