The Divine Hours<\/a><\/em>, here is how you begin every day: I\u2019ve done it for years and its recitation has become increasingly important to me.
\nLord God, almighty and everlasting Father,
\nyou have brought me in safety to this new day:
\nPreserve me with your mighty power,
\nthat I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity;
\nand in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose;
\nthrough Jesus Christ my Lord.
\nAmen.\u00e2\u20ac<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you use Phyllis Tickle\u2019s The Divine Hours, here is how you begin every day: I\u2019ve done it for years and its recitation has become increasingly important to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":197,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1733],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-prayer-and-formation"],"yoast_head":"\n
