Prayer by Father Michael Scanlan, TOR

Grant me, O Lord, the grace to unite my sufferings with yours so that I may suffer as your true follower. I do not ask to be freed from afflictions since these are the reward of the saints; but I beg of you to make me find in calmness and resignation the true use of trials.

My God, I desire, I accept, I abandon myself lovingly to your holy will!

    I thought Carthusian monks spend their time PRAYING. Father Scanlan says that in the Catholic tradition, there is no one who spends entire day praying. I am confused.
