ws thinking about this earlier…
How we change and grow…
I prayed the full Divine Office for years. ( I am alone and most of the time solitary first by circumstance then vocation)
Then I found I was stopping at every few verses to dwell and love…
Talked to two advisers; both Abbesses of Orders. They both opined I had moved beyond vocal prayer so I left that.
Prayer?is living. Always with Jesus, in pain, in joy Always talking ti Him… working for Him, surviving now for Him… thanking Him always for everything, and pleading withe Him for strength when things are bad,
Started he day for years with a simply litany of thanksgviing, for the night past, sleep that I can walk, for light and heat at the press of a switch, and so on…
Often at night the simple Compline prayers that are in my heart. Our Fathers always,.
So here I am, steeped in prayer, alone high up on a mountain!
Able for little but able for Jesus… prayer in every rosary I thread, every small thing I knit,
