Monastic Breviary

The Monastic Breviary is a collection of prayers, psalms, and readings used by monks in their daily worship, particularly in the context of the Liturgy of the Hours. It provides a structured way to mark the day with devotion, typically divided into sections for morning, evening, and night prayers. This practice fosters a rhythm of contemplation and community life, central to monastic tradition. The Breviary reflects the monks' commitment to prayer, creating a spiritual framework that enhances their relationship with God and supports their communal lifestyle.
