Augustine says that 'he who sings prays twice'. I pray that the word of Christ dwells richly in us, that we may grow always towards Christ. I agree that one of the best ways to do that is to let the Psalms guide our hearts and minds -- the more time we spend there, the more time we learn to pray. When Jesus was on the cross, he was quoting from the Psalms -- they were that deeply embedded in his heart. May it be the same for us, so that when we suffer, the Psalms give us the words to pray. May we study them and learn them, and let them lead us more closely into relationship with God, day by day, that we may develop compassionate hearts to bear with one another.
