“A regular cycle of daily prayers constitutes the essential rhythm of life,
around which other activities can take their proper place.
(The Northumbria Community)”
At Companions on the Way, we believe that keeping such a cycle of prayers helps us keep God central to our lives, by committing to beginning and ending every day through prayerful time with Spirit. We also see these prayers as a way of ensuring we stay spiritually connected to one another in the community, even when we don’t physically see or hear from each other every day.
While any prayers can be used to create this cycle, our morning and evening Offices are specifically designed to pray for that with which we most need God’s help and that which we most need to call our mind and spirit to each day, to best live out our Rule of Life for the Christ. We commend the spiritually-connective value of praying a common prayer at a common time, so far as we are able, and the community officially currently prays our Offices at 9:00am and 9:00pm wherever we are each day, for those wanting to pray in community. Or for those for whom those times do not work, we encourage the praying of the Offices upon rising and resting, each day.
​
For those interested, we also join for a live praying of our Morning Offices each Wednesday at 9:00am, via Zoom, and we invite you to contact us for the link.
