I really like fish sticks - on a bun with cheese & tartar sauce - and we normally have it as lunch or supper quite often during Lent. But, one of my children, when putting away the bulk bag of frozen fish sticks the first week of Lent, didn't realize they were frozen and put them in the frig. I wasn't too happy when I saw them in the frig the following week. So, that silly bag of fish sticks has become a source of penance instead! I'm not going to replace it...and I'm craving fish sticks!! <br /><br />The rosaries are beautiful.Suzie L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14187842891099447088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-89251275706583904222014-03-16T16:18:40.716-04:002014-03-16T16:18:40.716-04:00Hello, Barbara!

They are monks chanting the monastic Office in Latin, so not sure if that's what you're looking for. But it is beautiful to listen to!<br />http://osbnorcia.org/blog from Italy<br />http://barrouxchant.com/# from France<br />The text of the Monastic Office can be found here: http://www.ccwatershed.org/blog/2013/dec/4/1934-antiphonale-monasticum-free-pdf-download/ if you actually wanted to sit and follow along. But it is beautiful just to listen and meditate quietly.<br />God bless!Kimberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980588863109281657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-21579765506368843442014-03-15T10:33:47.124-04:002014-03-15T10:33:47.124-04:00Me again.

But I also use it as background, not necessarily sit down and pray with it, if that makes sense.

I chant the prayers on my own, going at my own pace is so much better contemplating it all. Here's a good link to chanted vespers (in English) if you are ever interested in chanting the Divine Office - http://www.westminsterabbey.ca/chants.html#top<br />Ana Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733710862603629370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-23803543763437857662014-03-14T21:25:56.437-04:002014-03-14T21:25:56.437-04:00The main hours are Morning and Evening prayer, and...The main hours are Morning and Evening prayer, and Office of Readings. Only those who live in the monastery usually pray the other hours. <br /><br />And at least for me, Morning lasts until noon and evening starts after 3:00. I fit the Divine Office to work for me. <br /><br />I love that rosary, and your grandmother's pillowcases. Just gorgeous. <br /><br />And I just love anything by Mother Mary Francis.<br /><br />How did the MRI go?

I put fish sticks in the over more often than not during Lent! I have one child who LOVES them, and they are easy, which is what I need most nights at about 5 p.m. Have a wonderful weekend!

It also feels odd to use an app -- the feel of book and ribbons is missing, but I'm trying to detach from the worldly aspect of it. Especially since I don't know what I'm doing with a book.

And morning and evening prayer are more... robust, I guess, than the midday prayers. :-)Jennie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14027736832723636538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-56446657793130341122014-03-14T14:43:36.282-04:002014-03-14T14:43:36.282-04:007 AM is TOTALLY prayer time for an order!

Lauds and Vespers are the "hinges" (ie, most important offices) of the day, so really, those are the ones to try to get in, anytime. As the former adviser to my Lay Dominican chapter used to say, "It's morning/evening SOMEWHERE!" Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093622381381219651noreply@blogger.com
