In the Hebrew and early Christian tradition, there has always been a daily prayer rhythm to pause and pray - morning, midday, and evening. This is especially evident in the life of Jesus and with the apostles in the early church. We want to recover this historic practice.

So, here at OCSM we desire to follow this rhythm. Each morning we want to begin the day with quiet reflection and intercession, asking the Spirit to bring to mind people who are far from God and asking God to restore them to his fold, bringing them salvation.. Each midday we want to create time to pray the Lord’s prayer submitting to the leadership of Jesus, allowing his prayers to guide our prayers. Each evening we want to end our day in gratitude to God. As you review your day, from morning to evening, give thanks to God for anything and everything for which you are grateful.

Partner with us by praying this rhythm each day wherever you are or by downloading the Lectio 365 app at the bottom of this page.
