Frame each day with the Church’s official daily prayer. The Liturgy of the Hours is the classic means by which the Catholic Church sanctifies every day throughout the day. Millions of Catholics have been introduced to a simplified form of this daily itinerary of prayer through the great work done by the editors of Magnificat, the monthly subscription prayer book now available in nine languages. The full Divine Office, by contrast, can seem a bit like an Enigma coding machine, with its different “rotors” of the annual liturgical calendar, the calendar of the saints, and the four-week cycle of psalms. Happily, those who would like to pray the Divine Office in full can now do so without becoming ambidextrous rubrical sophisticates: by subscribing to the monthly Word on Fire booklet, The Liturgy of the Hours (in which each day’s and hour’s prayer is laid out sequentially, with no need to juggle breviary ribbons), by joining the online prayer community at DivineOffice.org, or by downloading the iBreviary app (which also contains the Mass texts for each day).
