FYI, I found a Catholic-oriented temperament sorter at http://www.4marks.com/temperaments.html. Takes about ten minutes and results are plausible.

He also shared an excerpt "of a Jewish prayer to be prayed before reading Psalms, it wouldn't take much of a change to make it a great Catholic prayer":

"May You not take us from this world before our time, before completion of our years (among them are seventy years) so that we can rectify anything we have ruined. May the merit of King David, of blessed memory, shield over us and for us, that You may be patient with us and wait until we can return to You in complete repentence. From your treasury of undeserved grace, be gracious to us".

* * * Elsewhere, a remarkable post here here (via Disputations here), about growing closer to God. The typical dynamic is to think we fill up in prayer and spend in service; what if it were somehow reversed, or at least service was a kind of prayer?
