The Word in Time

Benedictine Sister Genevieve Glen offers biblically inspired reflections on the “work” of faithful listening and praying the Liturgy of the Hours. In the biblical worldview of the Rule of St. Benedict, the “ear of the heart” is the seat of wisdom, the place where we ruminate on life as it unfolds. It is from this kind of listening that we grow into our truth as our Creator intends it to be. In The Word in Time, Sister Genevieve Glen, OSB, offers biblically inspired reflections that explore what may be found through the work of faithful listening. Drawing on a life immersed in monastic prayer, studying, and teaching the Liturgy of the Hours, she reflects on the enduring practice of praying always, praying in time, praying with words, and praying in the Body of Christ. Whether we pray the Liturgy of the Hours alone or in community with others, we are always rereading our own lives’ narratives in the light of the story of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ. In The Word in Time, Sister Genevieve’s deep connection with Scripture inspires readers to seek glimpses of these stories intertwined behind the texts we pray and the hours we live.Â
