What are you looking for?

“What are you looking for?”

The question. Directed to two disciples of John. Earlier, they hear their teacher say, “Look, the Lamb of God!” as Jesus walks by. And they take off after Him.

Now they’re trailing behind on the path.

Jesus turns. And asks.

Pray in the moment

Pray in the moment. 

Thoughts. Whispers. Walking conversations with the Father. 

During ordinary, daily tasks. 

At home or on the road. In school or at the office.

Wherever we go.

Psalms

Benedict of Nursia (480-547) first formed his Rule for the abbey he served in Monte Cassino, Italy. 

Last year I grew curious about what this guide contained. And one particular practice caught my attention. It meant the monks of his monasteries lived on a steady diet of Psalms.

They repeated the entire book each week.
