The Catholic Church has a full year of daily prayers. This is called the Liturgy of the hours, which is a prayer of Psalms that are aligned to the Liturgical year. While religious are obligated to pray these prayers daily, it has also been encouraged for lay people to do so as well. The Liturgy of the Hours consist of prayer sets of prayers each day at different times.

The origins of the Liturgy of the Hours comes from the Jewish tradition, notes in The Acts of the Apostles, of praying three times a day. However, later it was expanded in monasteries to praying seven or eight times a day.

The prayer day is designed to pray at specific hours (that are also referred to by their Latin names):

  • Morning Prayer 6:00 am (Laude)
  • Mid-Morning Prayer 9:00 am (Terce)
  • Mid-Day Prayer Noon (Sext)
  • Afternoon Prayer 3:00 pm (None - no translation)
  • Evening Prayer (Vespers) 6:00 pm
  • Night Prayer (Compline) 9:00 pm
  • Office of Readings or Divine Office

The Liturgy of the Hours is truly a way to live out the words of St. Paul to “Pray without Ceasing”
