This is not the best explanation so sorry in advance. The Liturgy of the Hours are a collection of prayers prayed throughout the day by religious (priests, nuns,etc.)It is also called the Divine Office. Lay people are also called by the Church to pray these prayers, especially morning prayer, evening prayer, and night prayer (compline). The prayers themselves are a collection of psalms, readings from the gospel, prayers of intercession, and special prayers on special days for saints or special feast days. I pray the morning, evening and compline as I am a secular Carmelite. It has greatly enriched my life. If you go to any Catholic religious goods store you can ask for the Christian Pyers book and the calendar guide for 2013. It gives you all the page numbers.

Well, thanks.
It is way to confusing for me, I like just “prayer”.
