I am really enjoying praying the Psalms, which I had only a passing acquaintance with before. There truly seems to be a Psalm for everything in my life :-)
I am surprised at how little time it actually takes to do this on a daily basis - much less than one would think.
After all, I do have 24 hours each day, so one and a quarter hours a day for God in the Hours isn`t much, is it ?
I spend more time than that surfing the Net :-(
and I know which is the more beneficial for my soul :-)

Time, indeed.
I had an (anglican) Monk comment to me "do you know how much time this takes?...)
I started reading 1st and 3rd (ER) in the AM and I discovered that it takes no more time than reading the morning prayers out of the Jordanville Prayerbook!
Kathismas now... those take time. :-)
LOL.
Don`t they just !
I tried adding a kathisma to one of the Hours once. I was hoarse by the end :-0
Wonderful! That sounds so peaceful!
What does Kathisma mean?
I agree about the time it takes. It isn't much compared to other things that I do, yet I often don't. This is due to laziness on my part for the most part. Occasionally I have a reasonable excuse, but I should try harder.
Good luck in your efforts.
