Fr. Olsen spoke about forgiveness today. He's an Eastern Rite Ukrainian priest preaching in a Roman Catholic world. He spoke about how the Eucharist is receiving forgiveness and in the eastern rite the priest says before distributing the host that the"servant of God is about to receive Christ and receive salvation" something like that. good words. It means the same in our rite but is much more eloquent and grounded. We have much to learn from him.
I read in the Catholic Sentinel about the Benedictine sisters at Mount Angel. They speak about the order of their days; the rhythm their life has. That is what is missing in mine. There is chaos and disorder even though I go about being productive it feels so disjointed.
I want to find a rhythm for my days. An order. Prayer, exercise, meals, work, learning, relaxation. Each day.
