DAILY SCHEDULE
"Praise the Lord by your very life."our Holy Mother Clare |
Our daily prayer, work, and recreation revolve around the celebration of the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours to which each of us contributes fully, actively, and consciously. As we enter into the rhythm of the liturgical seasons and feasts, their spirit will permeate and color the whole of our lives.
