Office of Readings

The Office of Readings, also known as the Divine Office or Benedictus, is a daily prayer ritual practiced mainly by clergy and religious communities. It involves reading psalms, scripture passages, and spiritual writings at specific times of the day, traditionally in the early morning or late evening. The purpose is to sanctify the day through prayer, deepen spiritual reflection, and connect with God and the Christian community worldwide. It is a meaningful part of daily worship that fosters a rhythm of prayer and contemplation.
