Fr. Chris helps Fr. Shaun get his pop-culture references straightened and Fr. Alan hides an "Easter Egg" for UK Newman Center students as we kick off this edition of Vatican You considering the Council's reflections and changes to the "Divine Office"; a/k/a Liturgy of the Hours (Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, etc.) prayed by religious, priests, deacons, and many members of the faithful. (Chapter IV of Sacrosanctum Concilium). Explore the way the Divine Office helps us 'pray without ceasing' and do our best to focus the days, seasons, years, and chapters of our lives on God. Along the way, we also take a look at:
- one way of understanding the relationship of the Liturgy of the Hours (and Eucharistic Adoration) to the Mass
- ways to start small and consistent in developing a routine of prayer throughout the day
- various forms of the Liturgy of the Hours that might be good starting points for anyone
- the Patron Saint for your next "Whack-A-Mole" adventure on Patron Saint Roulette
- some practical suggestions for the work left to do in realizing the Council's vision for incorporating the Liturgy of the Hours into the life of the parish community
