A note from Canon Eddie:
I encourage parishioners to pray the Scriptures using the method Lectio Divina.
To support you, a prayer guide -
"The Prayerful Reading of God's Holy Word"
- is available to collect in the Church.
I hope you will find this guide useful
as you pray at home.
Canon Eddie
The Liturgy of the Hours, also called the Divine Office, consecrates to God the whole cycle of the day and the night.
In the Liturgy of the Hours the Church offers to God “from the rising of the sun to its setting” a sacrifice of praise, uniting herself with that hymn sung throughout the ages in the halls of heaven and expressing the prayers and desires of all the faithful for the salvation of the whole world.
These excerpts from the Divine Office may be prayed along with other members of one’s household, or even alone.
If celebrated alone both LEADER and OTHERS parts are recited.
