As someone raised in a non-liturgical tradition who came to liturgy later in life, I also find tremendous comfort in the Daily Office and Underhill’s advice. It is a gift to go to time-tested, shared (and very beautiful) language when “I got nothin’” Thank you for sharing this!!
Nicole, thank you for sharing your experience ... I too came to liturgy later in life. It's wonderful to hear how the Daily Office and Underhill's advice have been a source of comfort for you. The beauty and depth of liturgical prayers can indeed be a profound gift, especially in times when we feel we have nothing to offer. I'm glad to know that this resonated with you too. Thank you for your encouraging words!
The Divine Office is a lifesaver. It’s only really been recently that I’ve realized how profound it is to join in the corporate nature of prayer—we’re part of a symphony, not a solo act.
Bethany, I completely agree. The Divine Office truly is a lifesaver. The realization that we're part of a symphony, not a solo act, adds such depth to our prayer life. It's a profound and comforting thought that we're joining a greater chorus in our prayers. Thank you for sharing your insight!
