| HOW CAN I SHAPE MY DAY when time in lockdown is so shapeless? Is it just mealtimes that frame the day, or can we find a simple pattern for us to grow spiritually? Monasteries and other Christian communities use a fourfold pattern of daily prayer – morning, noon, evening and night. Social isolation is an ideal opportunity for us to try out this pattern for ourselves. A FREE GIFT! for St George’s Day, Thursday 23rd April Rev Andy discovered how to use psalms as a daily prayer routine in a Christian ashram in Kerala, India. He created a simple pattern of daily prayer, using virtually all 150 psalms in a way that makes sense. All you need is a Bible. Starting with the three psalms that the Syrian Orthodox Church uses every morning, (51, 63, 113), Andy developed a fourfold pattern which uses virtually all of the 150 psalms in a way that makes sense.  He has been practising this pattern for over 40 years, and now offers it in “Discovering Psalms as Prayer”? So, what’s inside?The Problem of Prayer – From Pete and Dud to the Cloud of Unknowing The Problem of Psalms – Just one blessed thing after another?
