Divine Office (Christianity)

The Divine Office, also known as Liturgy of the Hours, is a structured schedule of daily prayers observed by many Christian traditions, particularly Catholics, Orthodox, and some Anglicans. It involves reciting or singing psalms, hymns, scriptures, and prayers at specific times throughout the day—such as morning, midday, evening, and night—to sanctify each part of the day and foster a continuous awareness of God's presence. This rhythm of prayer connects believers to the broader church community and tradition, helping them align their daily lives with spiritual reflection and praise.
