To get to heaven,
St. Paul says we must
“pray without ceasing” . . .
. . . which seems not
only inconvenient but
downright impossible!
Yet it can be done,
even by you, and as
soon as tomorrow.
How?
These pages break open
an authoritative, time-tested method
that countless laymen still use today to
pray with constancy and thereby soar
to the heights of holiness.
It’s called the Liturgy of the Hours.
Also known as the Divine Office
or the breviary, the Liturgy of the Hours
is an important vehicle for advancing in
the spiritual life — a step that any serious
Catholic, with the help of Fr. Timothy
Gallagher, can take today.
Relying on insights from popes
and saints, as well as on his five decades’
experience praying the Liturgy of the Hours,
Fr. Gallagher opens your eyes to this spiritual
treasury and shows you how, by means of its
sanctifying rhythm, it will help you progress
on your spiritual journey.
You’ll learn how you can join the
multitude of Catholics who pray the Hours
daily and are richly blessed by the flow
of graces these prayers yield.
From the wise Fr. Gallagher, you’ll learn:
- The basic elements of the Liturgy of the Hours
- How to incorporate them into your day, no matter how busy it may be
- How the Hours will revitalize your daily prayers and prevent them from becoming routine
- How they will extend the graces you obtain at Mass into your entire day
- How praying the Hours with your family will link you more intimately to each other—and to the universal Church
