The Liturgy of the Hours or the Divine Office flows from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and “extends the praise and thanksgiving, the memorial of the mysteries of salvation, the petitions and the foretaste of heavenly glory that are present in the Eucharistic mystery” throughout the course of the day (General Instruction on the Liturgy of the Hours, no. 12). This earthly “hymn of praise that is sung throughout all ages in the halls of heaven” (GILH, no. 3) enables us to glorify God and sanctify the rhythm of our day. During the Divine Office, we lend our voices with that of Christ to form the one voice of Christ in offering the great sacrifium laudis to the Father. We come together three times a day in choir to sing the major hours of Lauds (Morning) and Vespers (Evening) and the lesser hour of Compline (Night). Sung (chanted) Office is not to be “regarded as an embellishment superimposed on prayer; rather, it wells up from the depth of a soul intent on prayer and the praise of God and reveals in a full and complete way the community nature of Christian worship (GILH, no. 270).
