Optional Tour #2: Exhibits tour by Dr. Matthew Heintzelman - 1:15-2
Title: Living Prayer: Prayer brought to Life, Living Through Prayer Location: Alcuin Library’s HMML Reading Room/Gallery and Culhane Gallery Living Prayer introduces an approach to life that is not grounded on modern concepts of time, but on the rhythm of a daily routine that calls the believer to pray eight times per day—from Matins to Compline. In the Culhane Gallery one can see several Books of Hours, each opened to a different time of day. Continuing to the HMML Reading Room and Gallery, one can also learn about Saint Benedict’s views on reading the Psalms, as well as the Breviaries, Diurnals, Antiphonals, and other books that have been used for the Divine Office over the centuries. Limited to a maximum 15 participants.
