qfnol31 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I'm trying to get back into the habit of saying it morning, evening, and night. It's a great set of prayers, very well defined by Vatican II. I use the full four-volume set, which has many extra prayers and readings. I highly recommend it! It's the prayer of the Church, and second highest prayer we can say! (Second only to the Mass!

justfran Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 What exactly do I say for Liturgy of the Hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 ^The Pslams are set in a four week cycle. Also included are Bible Passages and Petitions along with Certian Canticles. The Practice was Started by St. Benedict over 1600 years ago. The Office is a way to concecrate time to God, it makes each part of the Day Sacred by setting it apart. As for tips Say with it some one else And by a guide book, which costs like 1.25 $ Us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St_Ignatius Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 [quote name='justfran' date='Jun 25 2004, 02:47 AM'] What exactly do I say for Liturgy of the Hours? [/quote] Liturgy of the hours can be found at this website. [url="http://www.liturgyhours.org/"]http://www.liturgyhours.org/[/url] Many Catholic bookstores have the four volume set. I have found these hard to get through because they bounce you all over the place in different and books sections, and then you have to be congnizant of the liturgical year. It really is all a matter of preference which one you do. I personally do the Magnificat. Which has the morning, mass and evening prayers. You can find these by this URL.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I pray it. It's mostly pretty self-explanitory, but there are some things that you just need to get into the rhythm of it to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnanc Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) I want to start praying this so badly, but its so confusing at the moment, I still need to read about it. I dont' have the four volume set, only the book called "Christian Prayer" how much of the hours is in that?

I have the Four Volume set, but I am required to have it being a seminarian and all. If you ever wanted to pick it up it is a bit pricy but definitely worth it. It has two or more readings of the day, from Scripture and from a Saint, Father, or Council. It has prayers, Psalms, etc. However, it will run you about $120.00 or more.

Brother Adam Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I have the Christian Prayer book. It was a kind gift from a good friend, and probably one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
