Morning Prayer (With a cold)

Awoke this morning with one of those messy, wet colds, so it took a bit of doing to find my voice today. I think I edited out all the coughs and sniffles, so here is a podcast of morning prayer for March 12.

My voice may sound a bit deeper at some points.

I found my lectio today in the third psalm, #81, “I answered, concealed in the storm cloud…”

Yes. Sometimes we do not recognise the answers we seek, because they seem to be enshrouded in storms, and disguised as clouds.

I can’t say it enough: bring psalmody into your life; pray the psalms every day. The whole of our human experience is contained therein. It will help you to get centered, stay strong and find that most elusive of things – a kind of peace.
