From ancient times the Church has had the custom of praying the liturgy of the hours each day and requiring clergy to use the offical prayer of the church in their daily prayers. 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 faithful on earth. If you know someone who delights in the offical prayers of the church and appreciates the history of the Divine Office, our Liturgy of the Hours four volume complete set would make a treasured inspiratonal gift.
