In a recent commentary related to the Gospel reading of today (the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time), Father Ryan Erlenbush offered some good thoughts on early morning prayer.
To access his complete post, please visit:
Long ago I got into the habit of saying “Good Morning, Lord,” and spending a few introductory minutes of prayer. Then I would busy myself with making coffee, etc. I do spend other early morning time in prayer, including reading and reflecting on the assigned readings for the day. Sometimes, though (especially if I wake up a bit late), some portions of my morning prayer get temporarily postponed – and then I don’t return to them. This reflection is a good reminder to me. (I don’t know if I had ever previously thought of the “first fruits” aspect of this practice.)
Thank you, Father Erlenbush, for this post.
