I use Common Worship: Daily Prayer for my Office. It is simply more me and offers options that are not in other Anglican Prayer Books. During the Epiphany season, the following is part of the canticle at Morning Prayer:
You will call your walls, Salvation, ♦ and your gates, Praise.
Common Worship: Daily Prayer.
It is from Isaiah 60. I am not sure what the original meaning is (and I do not think I can) but to me, it speaks of my vocation. I am called by God to wait. And I wait within the context of solitude, which for me means a place.
When I step outside my four walls, I step outside of my calling from God.
For me, solitude is not an escape from the world. It is not a time of recharging for something else. The more I live here, the more I feel a sense of deep longing for this place of waiting. I live an enclosed life, which means the calling is lived within the context of my four walls. And here I wait. So I do call my walls “salvation” and maybe I should name my gate “praise”.
