Ever picked up a Divine Office and thought, "I’ll give this a whirl. How hard can it be?" only to realize you were utterly helpless? Well, those days are over. Why? Because the Divine Office (also called the Liturgy of the Hours) is like a choo-choo train, or one of those pill organizers with all the little boxes. If you can master that concept, you’ve got it made. Really. Don’t believe me?
The Liturgy of the Hours is intended to become the prayer of the whole People of God.
(CCC 1175)
There. The Church knows you can figure it out. Come learn the few simple rules that are all you need to know to whip those ribbons around and pray the Liturgy of the Hours, anytime. Like the Mass, it is the prayer of the whole Church.
[T]he Liturgy of the Hours is truly the voice of the Bride herself addressed to her Bridegroom. It is the very prayer which Christ Himself together with His Body addresses to the Father.
(CCC 1174)
Fear the five ribbons no more. Come learn the Liturgy of the Hours.
