Liturgy of the Hours w/ Fr. George and Fr. Brice

In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast, Fr. Brice Higginbotham of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux joins Fr. George to discuss the Liturgy of the Hours. Also known as the Divine Office, it is the official prayer of the Church outside of the Mass. Priests and religious are required to pray these hours at set intervals throughout the day. The Second Vatican Council encouraged the laity to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. The Hours, help individuals come to a deeper appreciation for the Psalms, scripture, and the liturgical calendar. Perhaps add the Liturgy of the Hours to your prayer routine this Lent. Listen to the previous episode where Dr. Scott Hefelfinger, PhD and Fr. George Elliot discussed ways one should not observe Lent and ways one should observe Lent. Everyone experienced Lents with a lot of passion and other Lents with minimal attention and everything in between. Dr. Hefelfinger discusses How to Lent a new Lenten program. How to Lent is a new series from the Augustine Institute that aims to equip Catholics with the tools to understand and practice the pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Guided by Solenne Santiago and with the help of priests and religious, this series will challenge our preconceived notions about Lent, laying out a roadmap for entering the season with a purpose. Don’t let Lent sneak up on you like it did last year. Instead, heed the call of St. John the Baptist by preparing for the Lord. Using How to Lent to transform your spiritual life this Lenten season.
