In this podcast episode, we delve into the history and significance of the Daily Office, a practice rooted in ancient monastic tradition that involves regular scheduled pauses for prayer and scripture reading. We explore the various forms of the Daily Office, its role in the Third Order in the Province of the Americas, and how it fits into an individual’s daily discipline. We discuss the challenges and benefits of this practice, from fostering a sense of community with other tertiaries to keeping us anchored in the wider Church community. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the practice, this episode will offer valuable insights into the role of the Daily Office in our spiritual lives.
This episode is a reading of Chapter 11 – Obedience: The Daily Office from the book “Forming The Life Of A Franciscan” which you can download by clicking here.
The chapter is read by Janice Syedullah, TSSF.
