About this listen

 A simple way to build a bit of silence and chant into your day. "From the Poustinia" features a simplified service of morning prayer using the resources of the Book of Common Prayer (1979) in plainsong chant. I also draw on the Episcopal Church's "Hymnal 1982", the Plainsong Psalter and other resources. Each day features a chanted psalm, a reading from scripture, often a short reflection or guided spiritual practice, followed by prayers and silence. Join me in praying from the Poustinia.Nathan LeRud Christianity Spirituality

    A simple service of Daily Prayer featuring a short chanted Psalm and a reading from Matthew's Gospel followed by a short reflection, prayers and silence. I use the framework of the Episcopal Church's Book of Common Prayer (1979) with a few other resources thrown in.

    The Psalm is from from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enriching Our Worship⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you're interested in going deeper with Matthew's Gospel, I'm using Warren Carter's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Matthew and the Margins⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Orbis Press, 2000).
