Liturgy of the Hours
      The Church’s official prayer, and the highest form of prayer after the Mass. It is an ancient, structured way of praying Scripture throughout the day, focusing especially on the Psalms. It hearkens back to the Jewish custom of praying at fixed hours, a practice continued by the early Church. 
    The practice developed significantly in the third and fourth centuries formalizing with Saint Benedict’s Rule in the sixth century. The current name and format were established after the Second Vatican Council in 1971, though the fundamental practice of sanctifying the day with set prayers has roots in the New Testament itself.

The Dynamic Catholic Prayer
Loving Father,
I invite you into my Life today,
And make myself available to you.
Help me to become the best version of myself, 
By seeking Your will 
and by being a living example of your love in the world.
Open my heart to the areas of my life that need to change,
so, I can carry out the mission you have imagined for my life
and experience the joy you desire for me.
inspire me to live the Catholic faith in ways that are dynamic and engaging.
Show me how to best get involved in the life of my parish.
Give our community a hunger for best practices and continuous learning.
Glve me courage when I am afraid,
hope when I am discouraged, and clarity in times of decision.
Lead your church to become all you imagined it would be
for the people of our times. 
Amen
