The following Text is taken from The Saint Andrew Daily Missal.

The Church, ever solicitous for the Glory of God and the Sanctification of Souls, sets apart certain hours of the day and the night for Prayer.

“During the night, I arose to sing Thy Praise”, says the Psalmist, thus, it is that, in Monasteries, Matins are recited in the middle of the night.

“Seven times a day, do I Praise Thee”, adds the Psalmist, and the Official Prayer of The Church ascends up to Heaven during the day at:

Lauds (Dawn);
Prime (first hour, 0600 hrs);
Terce (third hour, 0900 hrs);
Sext (sixth hour, Noon);
None (ninth hour, 1500 hrs);
Vespers (when the “Vesper” Star appears, 1700 hrs);
Compline (night Prayers, with which all our duties and occupations come to an end).


In order to unite our voices with that of The Church, which Sanctifies with its Official Prayer the first hour of the day, let us recite for our Morning Prayers a portion of the Office of Prime.

In nómine Patris . . .
Pater noster . . .
Ave, María . . .

The Angelus.
An Indulgence of 100 days may be gained each time it is recited with devotion and a contrite heart. Also, a Plenary Indulgence once a month, subject to the usual conditions, by those who, at the sound of the Bell, recite it kneeling (except in case of impediment) morning, noon, and night. From Vespers on Saturday, and on Sunday, it is said standing. In Paschaltide (from Noon on Holy Saturday till the Saturday Noon before Trinity) the Regina Cæli is said, instead.
