Reflections from the Benedictine Sisters

St. Mary Monastery, Rock Island, Illinois

Praying Always

It is you whom I invoke, O God, In the morning you hear me. (Psalm 5)

God hears us, but do we hear God?

We who dash from one appointment to another, who lurch from event to event, task to task: do we make time for even a short "call"?

Lord, help us be mindful of your attentive presence and of our need to “pray always.”
