Christian Prayer: The Liturgy of the Hours
Berkeley, Sunday, February 8, 2026 7:32 PM The goal, at this point of this post, is to have an ongoing post with a few quotations, probably as well, with a few reflections on the Liturgy of the hours. I might use the H1 to H4 structure of this blog to move things along. How to […]
A few notes, while I might organize this blog as well
Berkeley, Sunday, February 8, 2026 6:27 PM Lord, guide my life. There will be a few blog posts, which might look as incomplete here after. [Too much noise. I unplugged the fridge. But it is hard to deal with TV noise coming from, or rather not coming from my apartment. But I guess I also, […]
Heating. Global Warming
Berkeley, Sunday, February 8, 2026 2:43 AM A parenthesis here before I start with this thought. Sometimes in conversations or advice or gift comes a book or so. As a gift is great, regardless the quality. In terms of advice, it might be OK. I keep adding to the list of books. I realized I […]

A few thoughts to write them down
Berkeley, Wednesday, February 4, 2026, 2:49 am About to pray in the library. I see how satisfactory was to Saint Augustine to write continuously on a subject, but everyday.

Berkeley, Monday, February 2, 2026 6:28 PM Feast day: February 13 I recall reading long time that Blessed Jordan of Saxony was an excellent preacher. I wonder where I read it. He went preaching the Gospel of the Lord to the towns. It was said that moms hid their children to not being persuade and […]
A Bit on Self-Reflection and Punctuality
Berkeley, Sunday, February 1, 2026 1:44 PM I am writing this after arriving thirty minutes late to a study session at the library. I am doing this before praying the liturgy of the hours, answering at least one important email, before going to mass, and before writing. But after brunch. I need to learn better […]
The Beauty of Explaining Things in Simple Terms
Berkeley, Sunday, February 1, 2026 00:54 AM Life is consistent. But sometimes focus and attention no. There is a beautiful prayer before starting the liturgy of the hours or Divine office, which says as follows: “Lord, open my lips to praise your holy name. Cleanse my heart of any worthless, evil or distracting thoughts. Give […]
