Divine Office

The Divine Office, also known as the Liturgy of the Hours, is a series of daily prayers in the Christian tradition that structure the day's spiritual rhythm. It consists of specific prayers, psalms, and readings, traditionally divided into different 'hours' throughout the day, including morning, midday, and evening prayers. This practice is observed mainly by clergy, monastics, and some laypeople, aiming to sanctify the day and encourage a continuous connection with God. The Divine Office serves as a communal and personal form of worship, reflecting the belief in prayer at all times.
