Question: HOW MIGHT BEING ATTUNED TO THOSE AROUND YOU SHAPE YOUR PRAYER TODAY?

Transcript of Video:
Our praying together, our praying as one voice – or una voce as we sometimes say; it’s a Latin phrase – it actually requires a great deal of attention, even discipline. One of the lines in our Rule refers to the disciplines of choral prayer: that is a prayer that is sung, sung together, and this actually requires a significant amount of attention and intentionality. And you may be aware that we actually have rehearsals, maybe once or twice a week. But actually, it’s mainly in the doing, day after day, week after week, and honing that sense of attentiveness to the others around us.
