Good Morning Dillon,
At this moment, I too am in a calm spot in my life. Reading about the Dark Night of the Soul now, didn’t resonate as well as if I were in a crisis or depression. I certainly don’t want to stir up anything:0

Thank you Abbot Dan for your welcome. I’m looking forward to this journey. Thank you again for creating a welcoming and easy to follow format. As one who overcomplicates virtually everything… this is refreshing to just put one foot in front of the other as your guidelines lead.
Blessings, carol

Good Morning,

Good Morning, Thank you for making this available. I have begun and stopped and stalled for years in following Daily Office rhythm. I do pray and study and notice God’s hand in my life…but am easily distracted…Prone to wander.
