Then I said, “I will appeal to this,

to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

12 I will ponder all your work,

and meditate on your mighty deeds.

13 Your way, O God, is holy.

What god is great like our God?

14 You are the God who works wonders;

you have made known your might among the peoples.

15 You with your arm redeemed your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy. Amen.

Sit in total stillness for 5 minutes today.  How does it feel?

*I followed the brothers at the 

Society of St. John the Evangelist

 (Boston) during Advent and just discovered their Lent offering, a daily practice themed to the rhythm of Stop.Pray.Work.Play.Love.  Good, simple practices for our Lenten journey.*
