I learned something new today, thanks to MAGNIFICAT Magazine. Their morning Psalm for 11 July 2008 was Psalm 95. As this was the Memorial Day for St. Benidict, they also explained something about Psalm 95.
“He (St. Benidict) directed that all those who followed in his footsteps, whether as monks or, in more recent times, as lay oblates, begin their daily prayer with Psalm 95 so that they might be reminded to keep open the ‘ear of the heart’.”
Well now, I guess that is why Psalm 95 became the prefered invitatory Psalm for the start of the daily DIVINE OFFICE.
