Our Lord Jesus Christ told us to pray constantly (Luke 18:1). The Liturgy of the Hours provides one way to fulfill this obligation in a structured format. Moreover, the mandate of the Liturgy of the Hours applies not only to all bishops and priests, other sacred ministers, and the religious, but also to the laity. But, for the laity especially, without clear and unambiguous instructions, praying the Liturgy of the Hours can be confusing and difficult. This book has organized all the information you will need to learn to pray the Liturgy of the Hours using the four-volume set, step-by-step, as simply as possible. This new third edition contains comprehensive instructions for praying the Office of Readings, Morning Prayer, Daytime Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Night Prayer on weekdays, Sundays, Memorials, Feasts, and Solemnities. - Detailed information about how celebrations differ in ordinary time, in Advent, and in the Easter season. - Detailed graphic charts for all of the celebrations as they vary by liturgical season. - "Walk-through" examples to lead you step-by-step through the celebration of a Memorial, a Feast, a Solemnity, a Sunday in Advent, and a weekday in the Christmas season.
