  New Third Edition with corrections and 
          added material 
 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.
 
		  This 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 third edition contains
		  comprehensive instructions for praying the Office of Readings, Morning
		  Prayer, Daytime Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Night Prayer on ordinary weekdays and 
          Sundays, as well as on Memorials, Feasts, and Solemnities not on a Sunday.
