I just had to share this lovely post from Vultus Christi. I had written recently about those instances where we find a line in the day's Office that speaks to us personally. But this post takes that idea and runs with it with greater depth. The hook is the turmoil surrounding this week's Synod on the Family in Rome: how many of us are less than edified by stories of various machinations and worried about possible outcomes. But this author has the right perspective on it all:
Before going down to Vespers last evening, I remarked to Father Benedict that I was far more interested in what the Magnificat Antiphon would be than in the latest tweets about the Synod. I was not disappointed.
So go read the rest.
Take note that the monastery where the author resides is using the traditional (Extraordinary form) breviary and missal, so you will not find his quotes from yesterday's mass and vespers to match your Christian Prayer breviary!
