Office of the Divine Hours

The Office of the Divine Hours is a traditional Christian prayer practice that involves reciting specific prayers, readings, and psalms at designated times throughout the day. Rooted in monastic and liturgical traditions, it aims to sanctify the day by continually turning one's heart and mind toward God. The structure follows a schedule, such as morning, midday, evening, and night prayers, fostering a rhythm of devotion and reflection. Used by many Christian communities and individuals, it encourages disciplined, contemplative prayer, enriching spiritual life through consistent engagement with scripture and prayer routines.
