So, there are no special talks, no periods of wandering around the grounds in holy silence, and no compelling reason to be other than your normal self!
The obvious difference is that of a disciplined approach to setting aside times for prayer, both corporate and individual.
When the bell rings you stop doing what you are doing, repair to Chapel, pray, and then get on with what you were doing once again. Simple really. Why does it not seem like that when I am at home?
This is a rhetorical question to which I do know the answer - I would like to put it into practice a bit more. We shall see!
The task asigned to me and three others for today was to assist in the library, ensuring that the books on the shelves are where they should be according to the catalogue. It soon became apparent that many of the people who put books back on the shelves have never learnt their alphabet or number sequences when they were at school!
Still, we did get most of it finished before evening prayer; there remains only one section to complete tomorrow.
