Come, Let Us Sing unto the Lord
Manage episode 407339941 series 3559501
This week, we finish off our tour of the canticles for Morning and Evening Prayer with “The Venite”, Psalm 95. This is the first canticle of the day, and it is meant to open not just a specific moment of prayer but to bless the whole day as prayer. We talk about in its ancient, medieval (especially “Sarum Use”, which is the medieval liturgical practice of Britain), and monastic contexts besides what all this means for our own lives.
