Chapter 18: The order for reciting the psalms (paragraphs 1-2)
Each hour begins with the following verse: O God come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me. (From para. 1 of Ch. 18 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)
My heart so deeply resonates with the exact same verse that Cassian recommends for continuous prayer, and that Benedict recommends to begin each monastic hour. Maranatha, come Lord Jesus!

"O God come to my assistance. O Lord make haste to help me.“ There is nothing that might happen today, Abba, that you and I cannot handle together, even dealing with the tiny challenges of growing old and creeky at times.
