From the Pastor: Liturgy of the Hours, the Prayer of the Church
by Fr. Joseph Evinger
As you know by now the most important prayer or liturgy of the Church is Holy Mass.
The prayer which immediately follows the Mass and which is of next importance is
the Liturgy of the Hours. What is the Liturgy of the Hours?
The Liturgy of the Hours is the constant prayer of the Church. In the Roman Rite it
consists of seven times of prayer a day when the clergy, religious communities, and
lay faithful stop their daily activity and offer petition, give thanks, and proclaim praise
to God for His work in humanity. Just as our lungs breath air constantly, so too does
the Church breathe constant prayer to God who is the real air we must breath, our very
life source.
These seven times of prayer consist mostly of the Psalms, some of which are older
than 3000 years old. Also these times of prayer consist of other scripture readings and
writings of the saints or spiritual authors who inspire the Church to dive more deeply
into who God is.
There are mainly two pinnacle hours: Morning Prayer (Lauds) and Evening Prayer
(Vespers). All the Christian people are encouraged to pray at least these two hours as
often as they are able, whereas priests, deacons, and religious brothers and sisters
make a promise to pray these hours daily.
If you are interested in joining in the prayer of the Church, you can easily find the app
called ‘iBreviary’ on Apple or Android devices for free. The app updates every day
with the prayers for each feast and day. Or, if you like the simplicity of a physical
book, you can order what is called the ‘Christian Prayer: the Liturgy of the Hours.’
This book is the one volume addition which includes Morning, Evening, and Night
Prayers. It also comes with a brochure of which pages to use according to each day of
the year.
Starting on January 14th at St. Joseph’s in Killdeer we will have Vespers for all to join
in. Books will be provided. Come pray the same psalms that Jesus prayed, the prayers
of the Church.
