Betws Beunydd
It's our joy to share our pattern of daily prayer, the rock of our pattern of life, against which the tides and waves of daily life crash, wash, and play. This is the solidity that withstands those waves, that shapes the ways those waves flow against us, and that forms what flows out from us.
Life can be busy. We must always pray as we can and walk free of trying to pray what we feel we ought, not as something burdensome but life-giving. On this page and related pages, we give materials and links that you might join with us in prayer however much or little -- so that what washes against us and out from us might also flow between us.
Strwythur Dyddiol // Daily Structure
Dawn - Morning - [Mid-morning - Midday - Mid-afternoon] - Evening - Night
Gwawr - Boreol - [Canol bore - Canol dydd - Canol prynhawn] - Hwyrol - Cwmplin
We have four major hours -- Morning, Midday, Evening, and Night -- with brief liturgies. Some companions pair this with a complete Psalmody. We also share other canticles, materials, and prayers in the Welsh Celtic tradition.
Patrymau // Patterns
Alongside this structural pattern of hours, we overlay broader conceptions of how to pray daily, and how to live a life of prayer.
Lleoedd Gweddi // Spaces of Prayer
It may be beneficial to reflect on these four spaces of prayer: across the full scope of your life, how much do you use these different spaces and modes of prayer, where do you access them best, of which might you need more?
- Lle Dawel // Quiet Space
- Somewhere or something quiet; empty of sonic, physical, and spiritual noise; somewhere contemplative
- Lle Creadigol // Creative Space
- Somewhere or something creative; offering possibility and newness; allowing you to participate in God's persisting creation
- Lle Cymunedol // Community Space
- Somewhere or something communal; bringing together people, gifts, and lives; helping us to grow together
- Lle Gwyrdd // Green Space
- Somewhere or something green; dwelling in and enjoying God's world in this Middle-Garden; centering us among the world in which God has placed us
Moddau Gweddi // Modes of Prayer
Consider aligning different times of prayer through the day or week with some of the following modes of praying. Love God with all your heart and all your body and all your mind and all your soul
- Body, physical, in motion
- Outdoors vs indoors
- Mental, thinking closely, or imaginative
- Reading, writing, and remembering
- Quiet, still, listening
- Singing, shouting, dancing
- Along with some activity - washing, making bread, travelling, cleaning
Cylchoedd a Llinellau // Circles and Lines
Consider your own shape of life very closely. What patterns are there? What repeats? What things repeat at various timescales -- hourly and multiply within a day, daily, weekly, monthly, seasonally? What doesn't repeat and continuously moves onward? And these in the lives of those around you? How might you mark these cycles and continua within your prayer life?
Gweddïo Gyda'n Gilydd // Praying Together
Sgynnoch chi ddiddordeb i ymrwymo i weddio yn moddau hyn ac eraill? Os gynnoch chi ddiddordeb i deithio gyda ni ym mywyd weddio, cysylltwch â ni, hoffem ni i wrando ohonoch, amdanoch, a gweddio drosoch.
