An online resource for praying the Daily Office is found at http://www.missionstclare.com/english/index.html
Another form of the office from Phyllis Tickle's "Divine Hours" is available on our partner web site www.ExploreFaith.org at this location

Here is a poem that fits with your contemplative week. I just discovered it.
Coming to God
Lord, what shall I do that I
can’t quiet myself?
Here is the bread, and
here is the cup, and
I can’t quiet myself.
To enter the language of transformation!
To learn the importance of stillness,
with one’s hands folded!
When will my eyes rejoicing turn peaceful?
When will my joyful feet grow still?
When will my heart stop its prancing
as over the summer grass?
Lord, I would run for you, loving the miles for your sake.
I would climb the highest tree
to be that much closer.
Lord, I will learn also to kneel down
into the world of the invisible,
the inscrutable and the everlasting.
Then I will move no more than the leaves of a tree on a day of no wind,
bathed in light,
like the wanderer who has come home at last
and kneels in peace, done with all the unnecessary things
every motion; even words.
Mary Oliver
Have a beautiful retreat!
Peace,
Janet
Janet,
Thank you for the beautiful Mary Oliver poem for my retreat. I returned to it several times. Had a beautiful visit to the Holy Cross monks place in Santa Barbara, CA. A refreshing week.
