Lauds

Lauds is a Christian prayer service, traditionally held in the early morning as part of the Liturgy of the Hours. It is designed to give thanks and praise to God at the start of the day. Lauds includes readings from Scripture, hymns, and prayers, fostering a spirit of reflection and gratitude. It is often observed by monks, nuns, and clergy, but many laypeople also participate. The service emphasizes spiritual renewal and is meant to set a positive tone for the day ahead, aligning the faithful with God's presence and purpose.
