My latest contribution to
Christian Courier is titled,
Daily Prayer, subtitled, "Devotions as daily practice taken from ancient patterns." Here is an excerpt:
When I was in my early twenties, I visited the bookstore of Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, and purchased a copy of The Daily Office,

for morning and evening prayer organized according to the church
calendar. This ancient practice, usually associated with monastic
communities, was unfamiliar to me, but it transformed my prayer life.

Thanks for your blog on Daily Office. I have used the Soc St Francis Daily Office for some year and likewise find it liberating. I wondered if the Herbert Lindemann edited DO is available online as free pdf?
