liturgical prayer > recall

Two years ago, almost exactly, I hosted a small liturgical prayer seminar in our home. My friend Pete Matthews was my co-conspirator. We asked our friend Dave Nixon to come from Cincinnati to help lead the discussion. It turned out a very helpful time both for those of us who were already familiar with this kind of prayer, as well as for some who weren't.

A week or so ago, Peter posted 3 Reasons to Pray the Daily Office, which reminded me of the seminar and the fact that I recorded it as it happened and posted the files on my blog. So, I'm reposting them again here in case anyone's interested in listening in on some conversation about liturgical prayer. It gets very interesting in places. Again, they're not short, and the sound quality is not professional, but it's worth a listen I think. Let me do this too: I'll post my original sort of disclaimer I put as I offered these files before...
There were about 15 people present from various church backgrounds, all sharing their own stories and experiences as they relate to liturgical prayer, community life, etc. I'm sure a couple of things were said in reference to some denomination or tradition or another. Please don't take offense - we weren't making grandiose "statements" as a unit about anything. Just wanted to make that brief disclaimer. I hope the content of the seminar is helpful to someone. Peace.

> Liturgical Prayer Seminar - Part Two (approx. 18mb)

Somehow, I feel as if part of my vocation in life is to help people understand things like this, this kind of prayer, this sort of life-rhythm, among other things. It seems I've been doing this for the last few years. I pray that God gives me the Grace to continue doing so.

three quotes |::

"Then, if we cannot as yet think alike in all things, at least we may love alike. Herein we cannot possibly do amiss."
John Wesley

"Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus is a burden without a reliever."
Fulton J. Sheen

"...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self."
Henri Nouwen
