Christians have practiced a form of daily prayer for many centuries but it was St Benedict who first saw the benefit of formulating this prayer into a structured daily reading. He wrote an order or ‘office’ for his monks to help them pray on a regular basis, to help give them structure to their days and to help them grow in Christ.
This daily office has not only survived for 1500 years but has also thrived. It is now used not just by his Benedictine monks but by many Christians from a multitude of denominations.We have written our own daily office for the 40 days. It is preferable that you partake of it in the morning although it can be used any time.Please read it as it is and make these prayers your own.
NB + you can sign yourself with the sign of the cross here if preferred.
