Welcome

Welcome to this site about the Liturgy of the Hours, the great Prayer of the Church.

This site is an amalgamation of a series of articles I wrote on the Holy Vocations blog during December 2008, and Dunstan Boyko's excellent Liturgy of the Hours Resources Page.

If you want to learn to pray the Liturgy of the Hours, I would suggest reading the pages listed to the right in order.

If you have comments or suggestions, please see the contact page; they are all welcome, as is publicity by telling your friends, etc. This is not for personal gain, but rather so this can be developed into a good resource. I remember, with a wry smile, how difficult it was to learn the "Office" at first!

Open, O Lord, my mouth to bless thy holy Name;
cleanse also my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering thoughts;
enlighten my understanding and kindle my affections;
that I may worthily, attentively, and devoutly say this Office,
and so be meet to be heard before the presence of thy divine Majesty.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
