JOIN US IN PRAYING PARTS OF THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS (ALSO KNOWN AS THE BREVIARY OR DIVINE OFFICE) EACH TUESDAY MORNING AT 8AM FOR MORNING PRAYER

From the Congregation for Divine Worship: The Liturgy of the Hours is the daily prayer of the Church, marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer. The Hours are a meditative dialogue on the mystery of Christ, using scripture and prayer. Clergy and religious have a canonical obligation to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. Increasingly, the laity are also praying it, though they do not do so in the name of the Church as the clergy and religious. Wherever possible, other groups of the faithful should celebrate the liturgy of the hours communally in church. This especially applies to parishes - the cells of the diocese, who "represent in some degree the visible Church established throughout the world." The faithful should bear in mind that through public worship and prayer that they can contribute significantly to the salvation of the whole world.
