Liturgia de las horas - Laudes

The divine office

(Liturgy of the Hours)

is the set of prayers (psalms, antiphons, hymns, prayers, biblical readings and others) that the Church has organized to be prayed at certain times of each day. The divine office is part of the liturgy and, as such, constitutes, with Holy Mass, the public and official prayer of the Church.

Its purpose is to consecrate the hours to the Lord, extending the communion with Christ effected in the Sacrifice of the Mass. Whoever prays the office stops working to pray with the Church even if he is physically alone. Although private prayer is undoubtedly necessary, it is also necessary that we pray formally together as a Church.

This prayer is entrusted with a specific mandate fundamentally to priests and religious of all kinds. They are observed with special attention and care by monastic communities. However, as it is the official prayer of the Church, it is a prayer proper to every baptized person, including the laity.
