The Daily Office - Morning, Midday and Evening Prayer - is at the core of the life of the Northumnria Community. A regular cycle of daily prayers constitues the essential rhythm of life around which other activities take their proper place. In this respect the Communtiy follows the rich tradition of monastic communities through the centuries.
The Office can be said anywhere, but, for Morning and Evening Prayer, it is recommended that a quiet place, as free from interruptions as possible, is chosen. Our lives are usually too full of noise, so this is the ideal moment of the day to experience real silence.
Daily Office is best begun and ended with a period of reflective silence: and by affirming that the prayers are said in "the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit".
This silence is followed by a Pslam reading or singing, then scripture reading and meditation. The scriptures have been compiled and are assinged for each day.
After the Scripture readings and meditations, there is an opportunity to pray whatever is on your mind and heart, offereing to God the concerns of the day, your personal needs and prayers for other people.
Here's the Morning Prayer
+ In the name of Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening sentences:
One thing I have asked of the Lord, this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life;
to behold the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.
Call: Who is it that you seek?
Response: We seek the Lord our God
Call: Do you seek Him with all your heart?
Response: Amen. Lord, have mercy.
Call: Do you seek Him with all your soul?
Response: Amen. Lord, have mercy.
Call: Do you seek Him with all your mind?
Response: Amen. Lord, have mercy
Call: Do you seek Him with all your strength?
Response: Amen. Lord, have mercy

Canticle
Christ, as a light
illumine and guide me.
Christ, as a shield
overshadow me.
Christ under me;
Christ over me;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;
in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Christ as a light;
Christ as a shield;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.
Blessing
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever He may send you.
May He guide you through the wilderness
protect you through the storm.
May He bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders He has shown you.
May He bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

I recently spent the day at Mepkin Abbey and was invited to join the Monks in the evening "vespers". This is very much like the evening prayers of the daily office. The sisters in the convent also pray the daily office.
I think making the sign of the cross is an outward sign of reverence by remembering the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the beginning, and the end of every day. ( Also every time you walk into God's dwelling place.)
