The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office or the Work of God, is the daily prayer of the Church, marking the hours of the day and sanctifying the day with prayer (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops). The Divine Office is also considered the public service of praise and worship consisting of Psalms, prayers, hymns and readings.St. Joseph Chapel at Holy Cross CollegeOriginally published at sma.nd.edu.
