Psalms 144:9

What does it mean to praise God? In the ancient world, something extraordinary happened when God's people gathered to worship Him. It was more than just singing; it was a declaration, a proclamation, a time to fully embody praise to God.

"Canonical Hours" are a centuries-old tradition where Christians pause to pray at specific times. This practice grew from ancient Jewish customs; for instance, Psalm 119 mentions praising God seven times daily. In the Old Testament, priests offered sacrifices morning and night, and the New Testament shows Jesus' followers continuing this by heading to the Temple for "afternoon prayers." Names vary by Christian tradition: Liturgy of the Hours, Divine Office, Daily Office, Horologion, etc. This plan compiles the psalms and canticles of each day, so that you can participate in this ancient tradition of God's people.
