Pray the Psalms
Trying to build a better prayer habit?
A lot of people want to pray, but they don’t know where to start. Or, they want to start building better habits around prayer, but struggle with follow through in their daily lives.
Let’s look to the masters: Learn to Pray Like a Monk
Monks and nuns have set times of prayer. They gather up to 7 times a day to pray the Psalms in a tradition called the Liturgy of the Hours. This comes from the Jewish tradition of singing the psalms throughout each day. Jesus would have prayed them regularly, and it has been part of the monastic tradition since before any rules defined it.
For thousands of years praying the psalms has structured the prayer of countless people and is a powerful way to start or deepen your commitment to God through prayer. For almost 2000 years, monks, nuns, and lay people all over the world have gathered at set times to pray the Liturgy of the Hours, which are sets of Psalms often sung in community. Through this practice, they allow their lives to be sanctified as they, in turn, seek to sanctify time itself.
Monk Mindset has created a series so you can learn about – and join – monks’ prayer schedules. Fr. Jeremy, Augustinian Friar (the same Order as Pope Leo XIV) of the Augustinian Province of St. Thomas of Villanova and the Norbertine Canonesses Tehachapi, CA will guide you to learn about monastic prayer practices and give you the tools to integrate it into your daily life.
