At midnight I start with my rosary and then at sunrise I begin the Liturgy of the hours. I pray all of them and then after the last night prayer I pray the fatima prayers and to my patron saint 🙏🏼 praying like this has been LIFE CHANGING for me. My whole being has been drastically transformed and I was healed from a tumor.
@@diegobarragan4904 I was not doing that I was saying the commitment on my part has made a very big difference in my life it took me being more dedicated. I'll pray for your heart ❤️
@@diegobarragan4904if you got a tumor and your days were numbered, you would understand the severity that motivated @catholicprodigal to pray such way
Impressed! I have years and years worth of experience in public speaking and this young priest is a bloody legend in this regard! Appears to be unflappable!
Thank You Jesus I trust in You Amen . For some reason I'd been trying to find and understand what the liturgy of the hours means lauds etc..then suddenly come across this video on the screen of my phone
officium, neuter = service (officii = "of the service"). _Scientific American_: "In the 6th-century, cockcrow constituted one of the four periods of nighttime devotion for monasteries that followed the precepts maintained by the Rule of the Master (Regula Magistri), which required psalms be said at nightfall, midnight, cockcrow, and in the morning. The period denoted by the rooster’s crow helped manage devotions in the face of seasonal changes: psalms were said prior to the cockcrow in the winter, and after the cockcrow in the summer to account for the shifting durations of darkness. Roosters also alerted those living beyond the immediate reach of religious orders to ready themselves for morning devotions with their noisy pronouncements."
It may be hard to pray all 7 hours depending upon your occupation and if you have kids. But the best hours to try are Midday Prayer and Compline.. try out those first, If you can fit more hours, add Lauds
The reformed liturgy of the hours are designed to be quite adaptable for the busy life. The office of readings can be prayed at anytime during the day. You can pray morning prayer before work; pick one of the midday prayers during break or right after work (takes five minutes); pray evening prayer when home from work and night prayer before bed. Vespers and compline can even be added together if need be.
Most priests found the older version too burdensome. The reforms were made for a reason and the Holy Ghost protects the Church from error. Some of the removed readings are simply because it syncs with the readings of the Mass - meaning that the reformed two year and three year cycle of readings for Mass means less readings during the LOTH since they synchronize together. Or in other words, the gospel was not so much removed but switched over to the Mass. The reformed LOTH is such that lay people and clergy alike can pray it. That being said, for those who feel drawn to the old divine office they are permitted to recite it.

“We don’t know how to pray as we ought.”
St. Paul, pray for us!
Divine office helps me overcome my laziness and lack of discipline.. Still struggle though but I know the solution. It's half the problem solved

Br. Bernard, your presentation is very useful for those of us starting into the Divine Office. Would you please email me that handout, if possible?
I have those books.
I can’t figure it all out.
How do you pray the Litergy of the hours when working?

Many of the mid day ones only take 10 mins or less to get through

You're not going to get the gospel in Matins NOW. Use a pre VII Matins service, since VII struck out the gospel (of all things).
