I recently got the Liturgy of the Hours, with the resolution to begin praying with it daily as a means of enriching my prayer life. There is just one tiny problem, after reading the Introduction and the explanation on its use, I am still at a loss. Furthermore, when looking at the Ordinary Time section, only Sunday's exist, no days of the week. While a one volume book, no where does it state it is an abridged version. Anyway, if anyone can help me get started, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
I am delighted to read of your new venture in your prayer life. If I remember correctly, several months ago you sought suggestions on how to structure a Retreat.
By delving into the Daily prayer of the Church, every day can become a "little retreat".
Moreover, the heart of the Daily prayer are the Psalms. When you pray the Psalms, you pray the prayers most beloved by Jesus, affording you instant communion with Him and with His body the Church united in that prayer. You will never pray the Daily prayer truly alone.
