Note: Originally posted on 7/10, but I just ran into it when working on this series of posts.
A few days ago I finished Praying With the Church by Scot McKnight. It is a book on fixed hour prayer. When we participate in this "liturgical" prayer, we are not praying "in" a church, necessarily, but "with" the universal church across all kinds of traditions. McKnight says it was a great help to his prayer life, helping him touch base with God a few times each day, which kept him closer the rest of the day as well. I'm intrigued and would like to try it. He mentioned several prayer books, the easiest being Phylis Tickle's The Divine Hours. I'll pick up a copy and give it a go once I find my Barnes & Noble gift cards from my birthday.
Go to McKnight's blog and check the right column for online versions of the different daily prayer opportunities. http://www.jesuscreed.org/.
Have you ever done "fixed hour" prayer (or whatever else it may be called)? What was your experience?
