A Companion to the Liturgy of the Hours, Morning and Evening Prayer
An Invaluable Aid to Praying the Hours.
The Church has extended an invitation to all people to share each day in its magnificent prayer, the "Liturgy of the Hours." In earlier ages this prayer had the title of the "Divine Office" and constituted a duty (officium) to be fulfilled by those under religious vows. In our own time this prayer, made available in many languages, has become a privilege in which all can share.
This Companion can be an invaluable aid to saying the Hours prayerfully. Drawing on the rich spirituality of Carmel, especially that of Elizabeth of the Trinity, it offers detailed instructions on how its contents can be used to attend the praying of the Hours.
The spiritual commentaries on the psalms, canticles, and readings will surely help increase the depth and intensity of praying the Hours.
