The Divine Office

The Divine Office, also known as the Liturgy of the Hours, is a set of daily prayers that mark the hours of the day for Christians, particularly in the Catholic Church. It consists of psalms, readings, and hymns, designed to sanctify the day and keep believers in tune with God. Traditionally, it is prayed at specific times, such as morning, midday, and evening. This practice fosters a sense of community and spiritual discipline, allowing participants to connect with scripture and tradition, and to pray for the needs of the world and the Church throughout each day.
