This week I’m contemplating gratitude and self care through praying the daily office. Three and a half years ago when I began seminary I would not have given the daily office a second look (along with any Christian contemplative practice other than contemplative prayer). But, I find the lack of need for any other thought than the heart put into the reading of the daily office (or lectio divina) to be as restful as contemplative prayer and a good way to lead into it when life is spinning around as it has been lately. Now I just need to find love for Prayers of Examen.
