liturgy of the hours

The Liturgy of the Hours is known as the “public prayer of the Church.” Fr. Mike explains how praying the Liturgy of the Hours sanctifies time and gives God the opportunity to speak to us throughout our day. Fr. Mike encourages us to see the Liturgy of the Hours as a great gift from the Church that can powerfully transform our prayer lives when it takes root in our hearts. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1174-1178. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

We felt like we had some missing pieces in our last episode, and so we called in a ringer-- Fr. Steven Oetjen. 

We talk about his experience in learning the liturgy of the hours, as well as a couple of meta-lessons in learning. 

We also talk a bit about controversial parts of the Psalms that are currently not part of the Psalter. 

And ultimately, we talk about not just the benefits, but the deepest reason to pray the liturgy of the hours.

If you've ever looked at other religions and thought, "Man, I wish we had set times where we would stop whatever we were doing and joined in a communal prayer," then have we got a Christian prayer for you!

If you've ever wanted a way to pray through (most of) the Psalms over the course of four weeks, have we got a prayer for you!

If you've ever wanted to pray with a spouse or a roommate or housemate, but couldn't agree on a private devotional, then have we got a public devotional for you!
