As Secular Franciscans, we are asked to pray the Morning and Evening Prayers of Liturgy of the Hours or Divine Office, which in Latin is Officium Divinum, and means Work of God. It comes in 4 volumes or 1 volume and is often referred to as simply the Hours or the Breviary and it is the official daily prayer of the Church which is prayed all over the world, marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer.
The Morning Prayer is intended to sanctify the morning. It is prayed to recall the early morning resurrection of Jesus and to remind us to celebrate His glorious resurrection.
At the end of the day Evening Prayer is celebrated so that we may give thanks for the many blessings throughout the day.
You can find both the single volume and 4 volume on amazon.com or your local catholic stores.
Divine office is an app available on both the apple store and google play. Which provides the Liturgy of Hours and brings you directly to the daily prayer.
