Chapter 18 pt. 4

The Rule of Benedict February 24

Benedict places a high value on covering all the Psalms in the Divine Office.  I believe this is because the Psalms serve a central role in his vision of spiritual formation.  In our order, I wonder if one way we can honor this value is to eventually discern a schedule according to which we can cover the entire Psalter while praying only one or two offices a day.  We have a very good example of such a schedule in the Daily Office at the back of our own Book of Common Prayer.
