The Daughters of St. Paul of Prague helped to organize A Night Dedicated to the Psalms that was celebrated on 18 May. The nocturnal reading of this book of the Bible took place from 7:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. in beautiful Sacred Heart Church. The event was introduced by Scripture scholar Josef Høebík, who then proceeded to read Psalm 1 aloud in Hebrew.
The FSPs and numerous other volunteers took turns reading the rest of the psalms. Many passers-by, seeing the church brilliantly lit at such a late hour, dropped in out of curiosity and then, fascinated by the powerful spirit of listening and prayer that pervaded the atmosphere, stayed to participate in the prayer liturgy. The event concluded with a singing of the Te Deum in thanksgiving for this profound experience of the Word.
