Praying the Liturgy of the Hours
Praying the Liturgy of the Hours The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office or the Work of God (Opus Dei), is a beautiful and ancient tradition in the Church marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer. It is not reserved for clerics and religious (although they take vows to say it), but can also be prayed by the lay faithful. In fact, the Second Vatican Council highly encouraged the laity to “recite the divine office [especially Morning and Evening Prayer-the Major hours], either with the priests, or among themselves, or even individually” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 100). The Hours are a meditative dialogue on the mystery of Christ, using scripture and prayer. The foundation of the prayer is simple – praying the Psalms – but in practicality can be difficult. If one chooses to purchase a physical breviary (the book that contains the Liturgy of the Hours, it can be challenging – especially if no one is there to show you what to do. However, after an initial introduction to praying the Liturgy of the Hours, it becomes much easier and soon it will be like clockwork. There are two main forms of the breviary. You can purchase a four-volume set entitled The Liturgy of the Hours from the Catholic Book Publishing. You can usually purchase for as low as $155. However, you can also purchase one volume at a time: This four-volume set contains prayers for all the hours of the day: Office of Readings (Major Hour); Lauds or Morning Prayer (Major Hour); Daytime Prayer (minor hour(s)-one or more of Terce (Midmorning), Sext (Midday), or None (Midafternoon); Vespers (Major Hour); and Compline or Night Prayer.

FROM OUR ORDINARY: Monsignor Harry Entwistle. A CAUTIONARY TALE There was once a mountain that belonged to the Church. It was called Mount Docprac because it reminded members of the Catholic Church that the unity between what the Church believed (doctrine) and how that doctrine was lived (practiced) should be as strong as the mountain itself. Over the centuries, Catholics climbed the mountain, doing their best to live faithfully to the teachings of Jesus who gave the mountain to the Church. A few struggled hard and despite many setbacks, they persevered and reached the summit. Others did their best and made some progress and when they failed they started again. The guardians of the mountain, the Pope and the bishops had to be expert climbers because they had to show the way to each new generation of Catholics and find different paths to enable them to succeed. Above all, they had to encourage perseverance, especially in difficult weather conditions. Climbing this mountain was never easy, and when some Catholics lost their tenacity they became frustrated with it. They were influenced by the views of Protestant Christians who no longer had their own mountain because they preferred to live what they thought was an easier life on the flat earth with those who chose for themselves what to believe and how to behave.

Forms of Prayer the Catechism of the Catholic Church States
Forms of Prayer The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: Prayer and Christian life are inseparable (CCC 2745). And, Prayer is a vital necessity (CCC 2744). 1)1)1) Blessing & AdorationAdoration- Blessing expresses the basic movement of Christian prayer: it is an encounter between God and man. In blessing, God’s gift and man’s acceptance of it are united in dialogue with each other. The prayer of blessings is a man’s response to God’s gifts: because God blesses, the human heart can in return bless the One who is the source of every blessing (CCC 2626 ). Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the “King of Glory,” respectful silence in the presence of the “ever greater” God. Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications (CCC 2628). 2)2)2) Prayer ooffff Petition – The first movement of the prayer of petition is asking forgiveness... it is a prerequisite for righteous and pure prayer. A trusting humility brings us back into the light of communion between the Father and his Son Jesus Christ and with one another, so that “we receive from him whatever we ask.” Asking forgiveness is the prerequisite for both the Eucharistic liturgy and personal prayer ( CCC 2631). When we share in God’s saving love, we understand that every need can become the object of petition.

Sermon Preached at King's College, Cambridge: Fifth Sunday After Easter
Sermon preached at King’s College, Cambridge: Fifth Sunday after Easter James 1.22-end John 16:23b-end ‘Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.’ Each Sunday since Easter we have heard the Gospel of John proclaimed at this Eucharist. Perhaps strangely these readings have not recounted the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus but have been taken mostly from the long conversation between Jesus and his disciples at the last supper — the so-called ‘farewell discourses’. This is because the events of Holy Week are in fact the subject of that conversation: Jesus explains to his disciples the meaning of his death and resurrection before they happen. That Jesus can foretell reality in this fashion is one proof of his divinity. As the prologue of John’s Gospel puts it, nothing happens apart from him and all things come into being through him. If this chronology is perplexing for us, it was even more confusing for Jesus’ disciples. They complain that Jesus speaks in what the King James Bible calls ‘proverbs’, but might be better translated as ‘figures of speech’, even ‘enigmas’ or ‘riddles’. In the events of Easter, however, the meaning of Jesus’ words become clear, and after he was raised from the dead the disciples remember his words and understand them. This is what Jesus means when he says, ‘the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father’. Today, as we recall Jesus’ words in the light of Easter, we are engaged in the same activity as the disciples.

Prayer / Lectio Divina
Prayer / Lectio Divina Class notes from: Professor Rev. Chris HAYDEN (Rome, Angelicum, 2010-2011)* What is prayer? Believers who were brought up on the older Catechism are familiar with the idea that prayer is “the raising of the heart and mind to God.” While this definition is by no means incorrect, it has the potential to be misleading. “To God” is a very long way for the small and probably distracted human mind and heart to raise themselves. Insofar as we raise - or attempt to raise - our minds and hearts to God, we do so as a response to the God who has already reached down to us; the God who, in Jesus, has already bridged the infinite distance between the Creator and his creatures. First and foremost, therefore, prayer is a response to the God who has spoken first. Prayer naturally involves human initiative, but only as a response to God’s prior initiative. To insist on this is more than simply a question of getting the theory right. It means that when believers pray, they are doing nothing other than opening up to the God who is already in communication with them. Biblically speaking, God is communication: “In the beginning was the word” (Jn 1:1). It is the very nature to be in communication with his creation. He does not need to be “activated,” or pestered into concern for his creatures. Jesus told the parable of the importunate widow (Lk 18:1-8), in order to make the point that God is not like the judge in the story, who needed persuasion before responding to someone in need.

LORD, HAVE MERCY: CONFESSION AND THE CHRISTIANS LIFE STORY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Scott W. Hahn | 214 pages | 29 Apr 2003 | Random House Children's Publishers UK | 9780385501705 | English | London, United Kingdom Lord, Have Mercy: Confession and the Christians Life Story PDF Book Jan 03, James marked it as to-read Shelves: lenten , religion. Jesus said, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the a householder who brings out of the treasury what is new and what is old. However, for that which it does not repair, we must offer further expiation through prayer, penance, carrying the Cross etc. God has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has enlisted us in this service of reconciliation. Even understanding themselves to be Christian, some did not feel compelled to love their neighbor until that commandment was taught and preached. Your salvation is near to those who fear you; that glory may dwell in our land. We would very much appreciate it if someone could come up with a patristic quote in Greek. Despite the prickly nature of confessing our sins to others, reconciliation is at the heart of the biblical message. Part four of the Catechism of the Catholic Church , which is dedicated to Christian prayer, devotes paragraphs to to prayer to Jesus. It is an evil that embeds itself into the actions of everyday life and spreads, causing great public scandal. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen. Day after day, touched by his compassion, we also can become compassionate towards others.
