Weekly Q&A St. Benedict edition



Welcome, Caroline, to Coffee and Canticles, your one stop shop for all things related to the Liturgy of the Hours.
Sorry I'm a little late with this post. Many tasks interfered today, including the bottling and corking of seven bottles of homemade wine, the culmination of a process that started when we harvested the grapes last September. If any of you ever try to make wine, here is one piece of advice. Don't buy this corker:

It's very hard to use. Go for a more expensive model that relies a little less on your own strength. My poor little arms are aching right now.

Today was the feast of St. Benedict, surely a patron of us psalmsayers if there is one. We have Benedict to thank for the Divine Office having the form that it does today.

Now for some tylenol, a hot bath, and bed.
Any questions about the Divine Office?
About wine making?
