About the importance of morning prayer and evening prayer

It should be said about the great importance of morning and evening prayers which are the same as for a warrior facing battle with the enemy, the armor that covers the heart and other vulnerable parts of the body.

How difficult it is to ignite the spirit of prayer has just risen from sleep, located in the famous insanity from sleepy relaxation, so the person at the end of their day, spent it in the writings of the earth, really is not easy to live for God in spirit, for this spirit is often darkened by a string of daily experiences.





That is why the Church has selected for us some gold bars in a small Treasury of morning and evening rules. And he who with attention, often by heart, sometimes just peeping in prayer, reading the rule, is really attached to him all your soul, all thought. For the Lord every time, emboldens the soul, dispels languor, returns vigor, returns astrotarot, as it introduces us into the world prayers through this small rule.

Of course, good to listen to him in the temple or home in the Cathedral reading, but it is best to read the rule himself, delving into every word of prayer, not in a hurry, but feeding and feasting upon the grace that is hidden in those penitential sighs, exposures, hymns and praises of God, which is full of these truly Holy prayers composed by men of old.

That's why you never need to hurry with this rule, the shortage of time it is better not to tsitsa to drive in seven minutes rule, but read a few of the prayers so that they gave an echo in the souls, was the sanctification of the heart.





Suggest in relation to formal rules to read it even when the soul is not constrained by fatigue. But essentially after three o'clock in the afternoon, when according to the ancient computation of time, the 9th hour is in effect, it is possible to read this rule, leaving those prayers in the prayer book printed after the prayer "it is truly meet..." as sanctifying immediate bedtime.published
