Praying the Hours in 2009

Friday, January 2nd, 2009
If, like me, one of your New Year’s resolutions was to pray more—and if, like me, you’re a recent convert to Twitter—you might be interested in this Twitter feed I set up. It posts one brief prayer per hour (using FutureTweets); currently each prayer is from the Psalms. Too often I find myself caught up in something else or unsure of what words to pray (and then I’m especially thankful for the promise of Romans 8); using an automated Twitter feed can address both of those weaknesses:
You can also follow this feed in RSS using this address or this widget.
The phrase “praying the hours” usually refers to the centuries-old practice of praying set prayers at certain times of the day (not necessarily every hour), but I also like the idea of one brief prayer per hour (which I first encountered in this set of prayers by Chrysostom).
