Mediator Dei - Liturgy of The Hours

Liturgy of The Hours

The Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office) is a never-ending prayer of the Church, requiring a spirit of contemplation. The faithful are encouraged to participate in the Liturgy of the Hours especially during Sunday. Thus they participate in the life of Christ, which the Church repeats and explains on a yearly basis.

The saints are ideals and models and intercessors. Among the inhabitants of heaven, Mary has a special place. She is like no other involved in the mysteries of Christ. She offers her son and provides all help needed.
