The Liturgy of the Hours
For many Catholics, the Liturgy of the Hours—also called the Divine Office or the Breviary—can feel overwhelming or confusing. Yet this prayer, prayed for centuries in the Church, is one of the greatest treasures of Catholic spirituality.

Listeners will discover how praying Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, and the other Hours anchors the day in God’s Word and sanctifies time itself.
Through simple instruction and encouragement, Fr. Gallagher shows how the Liturgy of the Hours can become a source of peace, strength, and communion with the universal Church. Available freely through Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts, this series invites every Catholic to discover the beauty of praying with the Church and joining in the eternal praise of God.

Jesus, uncreated Wisdom, through the hope in your merits and in your Cross infused into the heart of your servant Bruno, and through the zeal he showed in teaching your goodness and mercy, grant us the same ardor and the grace for which we fervently ask… Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory Be.
Holy Spirit, fount of charity, through the love for God and neighbor that you enkindled in the heart of your servant Bruno, grant also to us that, living far from sin, in charity and justice, we may be worthy of the grace we humbly seek and gain the joy of heaven… Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory Be.
And you, Virgin Mother of God and our Mother, obtain from the Lord the beatification of your servant Bruno, who all his life loved you as a loyal son and zealously sought to lead others to you, and obtain for us through his intercession the grace that with great trust we ask of you… Our Father.
