Common Prayer Daily

About Common Prayer Daily

Common Prayer is a daily habit. It is an ancient liturgical tradition, called the Daily Office, that grounds the individual and prepares their heart by focusing on Christ. Saint Augustine of Hippo famously said “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” This podcast is intended to help busy individuals find rest in God. A place where for a few moments, usually 15-20 minutes in the morning and evening, you can meditate on God’s Word through guided prayer and scripture reading. Our hope is that Common Prayer Daily will be your guide to the Daily Office, the Church Year, and provide a space for rest in Christ.

Friday after Pentecost

Published 29 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Amen. A reading from the book of Proverbs, beginning with the 23rd chapter, the 19th verse. Hear, my child, and be wise, and direct your mind in the way. Do not be among wine-bibers, or among gluttonous eaters of meat. For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them with rags. Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes, those who linger late over wine, those who keep trying mixed wines. Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. At the last it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder. […]
