Pray Without Ceasing: An Introduction to the Liturgy of the Hours 

At midnight I start with my rosary and then at sunrise I begin the Liturgy of the hours. I pray all of them and then after the last night prayer I pray the fatima prayers and to my patron saint 🙏🏼 praying like this has been LIFE CHANGING for me. My whole being has been drastically transformed and I was healed from a tumor.

“We don’t know how to pray as we ought.” St. Paul, pray for us!

Divine office helps me overcome my laziness and lack of discipline.. Still struggle though but I know the solution. It's half the problem solved

This is such a help. Thank you and God bless you.

Thank you very much. Great video. Greg

Thank you for posting this. I learned a lot!

officium, neuter = service (officii = "of the service"). _Scientific American_: "In the 6th-century, cockcrow constituted one of the four periods of nighttime devotion for monasteries that followed the precepts maintained by the Rule of the Master (Regula Magistri), which required psalms be said at nightfall, midnight, cockcrow, and in the morning. The period denoted by the rooster’s crow helped manage devotions in the face of seasonal changes: psalms were said prior to the cockcrow in the winter, and after the cockcrow in the summer to account for the shifting durations of darkness. Roosters also alerted those living beyond the immediate reach of religious orders to ready themselves for morning devotions with their noisy pronouncements."

Thank You Jesus I trust in You Amen . For some reason I'd been trying to find and understand what the liturgy of the hours means lauds etc..then suddenly come across this video on the screen of my phone

Great talk 🙏✝️🙏

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Br. Bernard, your presentation is very useful for those of us starting into the Divine Office. Would you please email me that handout, if possible?

I have those books. I can’t figure it all out.

How do you pray the Litergy of the hours when working?

You're not going to get the gospel in Matins NOW. Use a pre VII Matins service, since VII struck out the gospel (of all things).
