Abstract
Text from the first half of "Guide to Daily Prayer"|We recommend using these Daily Prayer pages, either at night or in the morning. If we use them at night, we would use the prayer for the upcoming day. If we use them in the morning, we would use the prayer of that day. |This kind of prayer can be done alone or with a friend, a spouse, or one's family - sitting in front of the computer for just 10 minutes. Of course, you may use as many or as few of these options on any given day. |We could begin simply by making the sign of the cross or saying the introduction of the Liturgy of the Hours:|"Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise." |The Collect|The Collect is the opening prayer in the Eucharist for that day of Advent or Christmas. It is based on the Opening Prayer of the Mass, which beginning with the First Sunday of Advent in 2011, has been re-translated and in the New Roman Missal and is now called the Collect. Say the prayer slowly and reflectively. If it helps, open and extend your hands in prayer as you say the words. |Reading Today's Word|Here we offer a link to the principal reading for today. In the first part of Advent, we listen to the Hebrew prophets, preparing us for the coming of a Savior. In the second part, we listen to the story of the coming of Our Lord, from the gospels of Matthew and Luke. [ Just hit the BACK button to return to the Daily Prayer. ]
