Excerpt
from The Way ForwardIs With a Broken Heart
To
My Young Husband: Memoirof a Marriage
Beloved,
A
few days ago I went tosee the little house
on R. Street where we were so happy. Before
travelingback to Mississippi I had not thought
much about it. It seemed so far away,almost
in another dimension. Whenever I did remember
the house it was vibrant,filled with warmth
and light, even though, as you know, a lot
of my timethere was served in rage, in anger,
in hopelessness and despair. Days whenthe
white white walls, cool against the brutal
summer heat, were more barsthan walls.
You
do not talk to me now,a fate I could not have
imagined twenty years ago. It is true we say
theusual greetings, when we have to, over
the phone: How are you? Have youheard from
Our Child? But beyond that, really nothing.
Nothing of the secrets,memories, good and
bad, that we shared. Nothing of the laughter
that usedto creep up on us as we ate together
late at night at the kitchen table--perhapsafter
one of your poker games--and then wash over
us in a cackling wave...

InspirationalTitle: The Divine Hours : Prayers
for Summertime by Phyllis Tickle
Excerpt
from The DivineHours : Prayers for Summertime
An
Introduction to This Manual
From
the beginning two thingshave been the necessary
form and mystery of Christian spirituality.
Twothings, even before the closing events
of resurrection, ascension, andcommission,
wove disparate and often renegade believers
into an inspiritedbody of the whole, connected
to God and each other.
Like
a double helix renderedelegant by complexity
and splendid by authority, the amalgam of
gospeland shared meal and the discipline of
fixed-hour prayer were and have remainedthe
chain of golden connection tying Christian
to Christ and Christianto Christian across
history, across geography, and across idiosyncrasiesof
faith. The former is known as the food and
sustenance of the Church,the latter as its
work. The Divine Hours is about the second
part of thisdouble strand, the work; it is
a manual
for
the contemporary exerciseof fixed-hour prayer.
Although
designed primarilyfor private use by individuals
or by small groups, The Divine Hours maycertainly
be employed by larger and/or more public communities.
Likewise,though designed primarily for lay
use, it can as well be employed by theordained
in either private or corporate prayer.
