Homework - Praying the Divine Hours

I mentioned on Wednesday that the suggested activity for the next session is to go to a website, find your time zone, and pray the divine hour prayer for the time. Here's the link:

You may recall that one of the Animate speakers, Phyllis Tickle, wrote a series of books called The Divine Hours. The above link features Tickle's books and several excerpts from them.

The study guide also offers some questions for reflection on the subject of prayer this week:

What does prayer mean to you?

How do you pray?

What forms of prayer are uncomfortable/comfortable for you? (spontaneous prayer, liturgical prayer, recited/memorized prayers) Why?

Think of an experience when you were aware of God's presence while praying. What colors, tastes, smells, feelings, etc... might you use to describe this time in prayer?
