Chapter 18: The order for reciting the psalms (paragraph 1)
Each hour begins with following verse: O God come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me. (From para. 1 of Ch. 18 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)
The psalmist who wrote this verse, Cassian's recommendation of it as a formula for continuous prayer, John Main's recovery of Cassian's teaching leading to the practice of the mantra -- all teaching me that at any moment I can choose where I place my attention.
