I also use <a href="http://www.missionstclare.com/english/index.html" rel="nofollow">The Daily Office from the Mission St Clare</a> for my prayer time, too. The site offers a couple of hymns and chants, along with the Daily Office readings from scripture.

I get the daily readings by e-mail and listen to them after I've read them, the US Catholic Bishop's Conference also has them in MP3 form. And I listen to five psalms, though a lot of the time this last month I've read them. I'm beginning to sing them when I can do that instead of croaking them out. I used to sing like a bird. Well, I still do but the bird is often a grackle.

Thank you for the sermon/reflection for the First Sunday in Advent.<br /><br />If I could, I'd probably attend church during Advent and the Christmas season, whether I went the rest of the year, or not. As I've also said, I take my community where I find it, often in unexpected places, but in your case, not unexpected, Rmj.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-41669076268396759702016-11-28T01:52:12.224-06:002016-11-28T01:52:12.224-06:00It will be the greatest regret of my life that I w...It will be the greatest regret of my life that I wasted so much time on other things that I could have spent on reading the scriptures and theology. Well, the greatest regret about intellectual matters, I've done lots of things that are worse. Maybe I'd have done fewer of those if I'd spent more time on scripture and theology, too.
