Liturgical Hours
Liturgical Hours, also known as the Divine Office or the Liturgy of the Hours, is a set of daily prayers in the Christian tradition. These prayers are structured around specific times of the day, allowing the faithful to sanctify their time through worship. The main hours include Morning Prayer, Midday Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Night Prayer, each with its own set of psalms, readings, and prayers.
The practice is rooted in the Jewish tradition of praying at specific times and has been formalized in various Christian denominations, particularly within the Catholic Church. The Liturgical Hours serve to mark the passage of time and encourage a rhythm of prayer throughout the day.
