The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office, is a set of prayers recited at specific times throughout the day, marking the rhythm of Christian life. It includes psalms, readings from Scripture, hymns, and intercessions, allowing the faithful to sanctify the hours of the day. The prayers are structured around seven "hours," with the most significant being Morning Prayer (Lauds) and Evening Prayer (Vespers). This practice fosters a continuous dialogue with God and encourages communal and individual prayer.
The two main parts of the Mass are the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. During the Liturgy of the Word, readings from the Bible are proclaimed, and a homily is delivered to reflect on the readings. During the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the bread and wine are consecrated and transformed into the body and blood of Christ, which are then shared with the worshipers.
During the Liturgy of the Word we listen and respond to God's Word; we profess our faith and pray for all people in need.
