Greetings on this beautiful Spring Day !
As friars we celebrate the Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office) at Morning, Noon and Evening together. The Liturgy consists of a Hymn, Psalms, Scripture reading and intercessions for the Church and the World. We we pray the office, we never pray it alone - even if we are alone - because we pray it as part of the Universal Church, the people and mystical body of Christ.
I have attached a link to a great on-line resource, allowing access to the Daily Office.
May the Spirit of God, flow over you, through you and with you, as you pray this ancient, beautiful and Universal prayer.

Liturgy of the Hours
Congratulations on your committment to this unifying prayer! How sad though that the laity are not involved and have not been initiated into this expression of faith at the parish level in some parts of the world. The richness of the literature and the metaphors inform not just faith but ethical thinking and action.
