Pray the day: the third Sunday in Lent

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour or that one is what we are doing. A schedule defends us from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time." --Annie Dillard

"It is a paradox of human life that in worship, as in human love, it is in the routine and the everyday that we find the possibilities for the greatest transformation."
--Kathleen Norris
