“From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the liturgy of the hours. In this way the Church fulfills the Lord’s precept to pray without ceasing, at once offering its praise to God the Father and interceding for the salvation of the world.” – Office of the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship.
The Ministry of Divine Office has a mission to gather assets beneficial to our community in praying the Liturgy of the Hours. We appreciate contributions from you. Please leave your suggestions or links as a comment and we will incorporate the most useful materials into this site.

@tmmurphy2008, perhaps we will add the actual date to the title of the podcast. I will ask our developers about doing this.
Thank you!

Liturgy of the Hours sessions that you can go to catch up-thanks

@tmmurphy2008, the archive exists, but we have not made it accessible. We can put that on our list of enhancements.

Is there a plan to add the Evening Prayer to the Podcast listings? I would love to have it and the Night Prayer to complete the day. I love being able to listen to the Hymns or join in when I know the hymn. Thank you and God’s Blessings on your endeavor.

@Edward, yes, we plan to add Evening prayer in January. We are trying to add Office of Readings first. We would appreciate you and others leaving us reviews on iTunes. Thanks!

@uemcan123, it is not on the schedule, but I am sure we will be adding all of the hours eventually.

I have just stumbled onto this site quite by accident. I have the 4 volume Breviary set, but may have lost my Advent/Christmas volume. Rather than get angry, I began to search the Web for alternatives.
Well, here I am.
I am interested in keeping up with Office of Readings, and have noted that what is announced as the Office of Readings is actually Lauds. Normally, when I combine the OOR with one of the other Hours, I begin with the OOR itself.
What is your approach, indeed, if the Office of Readings is even available?

@CBordages, I am glad you found us. We must have made a mistake with the audio file we attached. We do have the Office of Readings through most of the non-Ordinary time. We will be adding Office of Readings as often as possible going forward, but our first priority is Evening Prayer. We plan to have Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer for every weekday of the year by late January 2009. We will add Office of Readings in the following month. Thank you for joining our community.
