The secret for the regular exercise of spirituality, as with physical fitness, is to establish simple habits and practices that are embedded in our normal routines. -- John Kleinig, *Grace Upon Grace* p. 54
After spending a couple of days with the Benedictines of St. Andrew's Abbey in Valyermo, I can attest to the benefits of discipline in devotional life. The regular hours of prayer are wonderful, as is the Great Silence (which includes breakfast), and the lectio divina at dinner.
