(Before Vatican Council II)

Matins (midnight)

Lauds (Dawn)

Prime (6 am)

Terce (9 am)

Sext (noon)

None (3 pm)

Vespers (4 pm)

Compline (before bed)

(After Vatican Council II)

Office of Readings

Morning Prayer

Mid-morning prayer

Mid-day prayer

Mid-afternoon prayer

Evening prayer

Night Prayer
