Over the past year I’ve mentioned how meaningful praying the Psalms has become for me as part of the Liturgy of the Hours. The Hours are regarded as truly sacred prayer because as we pray the Hours, we are, in effect, in that same position that Jesus was when he prayed: invoking the words, images and spiritual truth of the psalmists.
If you would like to learn more about the Psalms, I recommend this “self-study” course, “The Prayers of the Psalter” created by Henry Wansbrough for monks and nuns at St. Benet’s Hall, Oxford. You may follow the link above to the 130+ page document, or just click on the link below.
I believe that you will be truly enriched by the breadth and depth of this study.
