Aprašymas

A fresh, practical, and spiritual approach to rediscovering the Liturgy of the Hours

Sixty years after the Second Vatican Council, the theology of the Liturgy of the Hours as a prayer for all the baptized remains largely unknown to the lay faithful. Yet this millennia-old prayer is an accessible spiritual treasure that can radically transform daily life. In this captivating book, Arnaud Join-Lambert challenges common misconceptions to provide a fresh, practical, and spiritual guide for all those seeking to nourish their daily prayer, and ideas for pastors and ministry leaders in their efforts to include the entire community in the Liturgy of the Hours.

This study on the Liturgy of the Hours offers a comprehensive overview that combines classical aspects--the history of the rite and the structure and meaning of the liturgical book--with insightful new theological reflections, particularly on the paschal theological foundation of the Divine Office. It serves as a definitive and needed reference for all who wish to understand the Liturgy of the Hours today and gives renewed meaning to this prayer to become the spiritual breath of the entire people of God.
