 Our
Lord Jesus Christ told us to pray constantly (Luke 18:1). The Liturgy of
the Hours provides one way to fulfill this obligation in a structured format.
Moreover, the mandate of the Liturgy of the Hours applies not only to all
bishops and priests, other sacred ministers, and the religious, but also
to the laity. But, for the laity especially, without clear and unambiguous
instructions, praying the Liturgy of the Hours can be confusing and
difficult.
Therefore, the present book has
organized all the information you will need to learn to pray the Liturgy
of the Hours using the four-volume set, step-by-step, as simply as possible.
(The single-volume Christian Prayer follows the same basic format, but with
simplifications.)
This new second edition contains
comprehensive instructions for praying the Office of Readings, Morning
Prayer, Daytime Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Night Prayer on weekdays, Sundays,
Memorials, Feasts, and Solemnities; plus, this edition contains the following
material not in the first edition:
• |
Detailed information
about how celebrations differ in ordinary time, in Advent, and in the Easter
season. |
• |
Detailed graphic
charts for all of the celebrations as they vary by liturgical season. |
• |
“Walk-through”
examples to lead you step-by-step through the celebration of a Memorial,
a Feast, a Solemnity, and a Sunday in Advent. |
