Chapter 18: The order for reciting the psalms (paragraph 2)

These same psalms are repeated daily until Sunday and the identical arrangement of hymns, lessons and verses is retained everyday. (From para. 3 of Ch. 18 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)

Daily habits, good or bad, have the power to form the person I become, especially a practice as rigorous and as loving as Christian Meditation. Routine can become discipline at these depths -- a discipline that builds confidence, casts out fear, and offers forgiveness --  a discipline that becomes transformative.
