Four times a day, we chant the Liturgy of the Hours
as a Community and unite ourselves with Jesus in His
prayer to the Father on behalf of all mankind.
In praying the Liturgy of the Hours, we participate
in the praise given to God by the entire Church.
Our founder St. Francis, too, commissioned his
followers to pray the Divine Office of the Church
for the praise of the Creator. This is the prayer
which Christ, in the Holy Spirit and united with his
Mystical Body, the Church, offers to His Father, to
give thanks for everything. Constitutions, 204. |
