Liturgy of the Hours 101: Don’t be intimidated

October 10, 2025
By Daria Sockey

Filed Under: Books, Commentary, Worship & Sacraments

The Liturgy of the Hours is a repeating four-week cycle of psalms, biblical canticles, prayers and Scripture readings that has been part of the church’s public prayer — in one form or another — almost from the beginning. The prayers vary in accordance with the liturgical season and also — like the Mass — commemorate the feasts of the church calendar.
