Episode notes
Liturgy of the Hours Sanctifies Time
- The Liturgy of the Hours sanctifies the entire day and night by praising God through five set prayers.
- It is public prayer involving clergy, religious, and laity, meant to be the prayer of the whole Church.
Time Can Be Holy and Consecrated
- Time, like space, can be holy and consecrated by God.
- Christians are called to sanctify their time as a devoted act of worship through the Liturgy of the Hours.
From Mechanical to Transformative Prayer
- Father Mike initially found praying the Liturgy of the Hours boring and mechanical during seminary.
- Over years, the Psalms took root in his heart and transformed his prayer life profoundly.
