What is the perfect time to pray?

This could be first thing in the morning, on your lunch break, or before bed. Starting with one time then adding additional prayer times in the future is a wonderful way to begin. If you already have an established prayer time, you can incorporate the liturgy of the Divine Hours into this time.

I f you have ever been to a monastery or an abbey, or if you have ever watched a television show that featured monks or nuns, you may have noticed that they faithfully gather together for prayer many times a day. They follow the Divine Hours, praying at multiple set times throughout the day and often throughout the night too. The Divine Hours, sometimes called fixed-hour prayer, have existed since before Christianity formalized, having their roots in the daily prayer rhythm of Judaism. The typical schedule for the Divine Hours follows a three-hour pattern, with prayers at 6:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. In addition, there are evening prayers and morning prayers outside of these times. Simpler adaptations of the Divine Hours involve a morning prayer, a mid-day prayer, and an evening prayer.

Shaping the day with prayer and Scripture

What you might not know about the spiritual practice of Divine Hours—whether you’ve learned about the practice personally or vicariously through media—is that the practice of fixed-hour prayer was not originally something that was specific to the monastic or clerical classes. Fixed-hour prayer was a part of every believer’s daily life in the early church, shaping their days around Scripture and prayer, most often the Lord’s Prayer. The practice of fixed-hour prayer is not simply stopping to pray extemporaneously throughout the day; rather, these times of prayer follow a liturgy, or a structured way of praying. This generally includes set prayers, Scripture reading, and possibly a song or hymn. While it may seem daunting to dive into three, five, or more set prayer sessions each day, there are many ways to practice the Divine Hours, and there are many resources to help all believers engage in daily prayer.

Accessible resources for daily, fixed-hour prayers:

Beginning to practice the Divine Hours

One of the best ways to begin practicing fixed-hour prayer is to find one time each day when you will commit to stopping what you are doing in order to pray. This could be first thing in the morning, on your lunch break, or before bed. Starting with one time then adding additional prayer times in the future is a wonderful way to begin. If you already have an established prayer time, you can incorporate the liturgy of the Divine Hours into this time. Fixed-hour prayer practices can also be a wonderful way to pray with others. If you are able to gather with your family, friends, or faith community, whether in person or online, you can pray the liturgy together. Whether you pray alone or with others, know that fixed-hour liturgical prayer grounds you in the community of believers who are also praying those same prayers and reading the same Scripture that day. Praying the Divine Hours isn’t an all or nothing experience. Can you find one set time each day to center yourself and pray the liturgy? Then you can begin to pray the Divine Hours.

Why do people pray to St Joseph?

We pray to Saint Joseph asking for his intercession to keep our hearts, bodies and minds pure. He is the patron of the Universal Church, the dying, fathers, carpenters, and social justice.

catholicfaithstore.com - Prayers to Saint Joseph - Keep our hearts, bodies & minds pure

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so

great, so strong, so prompt before the

throne of God, I place in you all my

interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph,

do assist me by your powerful

intercession, and obtain for me from

your divine Son all spiritual blessings

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So that having engaged here below

your heavenly power I may offer my

thanksgiving and homage to the most

loving of Fathers. O, St. Joseph, I

never weary contemplating you and

Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not

approach while he reposes near your

heart.

Press Him in my name and kiss

His fine head for me and ask Him to

return the Kiss when I draw my dying

breath. St. Joseph, Patron of

departing Souls - Pray for me.

Amen.
