About the Divine Office
"The Liturgy of the Hours is the Church's way of sanctifying time itself. When we pray these ancient prayers, we're not just talking to God individually—we're joining our voices with the universal Church in a symphony of praise that never ends. It's beautiful to imagine Catholics all over the world praying these same words at the same moments."
Ancient Tradition
Rooted in Jewish temple prayer and early Christian practice
Universal Prayer
Catholics worldwide pray together across time zones
Church's Prayer
The official prayer of the Catholic Church throughout the day
