SUMMARY:Lauds
DESCRIPTION:Lauds (Morning Prayer) is part of the Divine Office\, also known as the Liturgy of the Hours\, the Church’s daily prayer. Prayed in the morning\, Lauds sanctifies the start of the day through psalms\, Scripture\, and intercessions\, uniting the faithful with the universal prayer of the Church. \n“As is clear from many of the elements that make it up\, morning prayer is intended and arranged to sanctify the morning. St. Basil the Great gives an excellent description of this character in these words: “It is said in the morning in order that the first stirrings of our mind and will may be consecrated to God and that we may take nothing in hand until we have been gladdened by the thought of God\, as it is written: ‘I was mindful of God and was glad’ (Ps 77:4 [Jerome’s translation from Hebrew])\, or set our bodies to any task before we do what has been said: ‘I will pray to you\, Lord\, you will hear my voice in the morning; I will stand before you in the morning and gaze on you’ (Ps 5:4-5).” \n“Celebrated as it is as the light of a new day is dawning\, this hour also recalls the resurrection of the Lord Jesus\, the true light enlightening all people (see Jn 1:9) and “the sun of justice” (Mal 4:2)\, “rising from on high” (Lk 1:78). Hence\, we can well understand the advice of St. Cyprian: “There should be prayer in the morning so that the resurrection of the Lord may thus be celebrated” (GILH\, no. 38).

SUMMARY:Vespers
DESCRIPTION:Vespers (Evening Prayer) is part of the Divine Office\, also known as the Liturgy of the Hours\, the Church’s daily prayer. Prayed in the evening\, Vespers offers praise and thanksgiving through psalms\, Scripture\, and intercessions\, sanctifying the close of the day. \nVespers is a fifteen-minute prayer service of hymns\, readings\, and intercessions done every evening by priests and sisters\, but more and more laity is joining them. It is a special prayer because it is said by people all around the world and every hour throughout the day\, due to time changes\, the hours are prayed. In the Liturgy of the Hours\, the Church fulfills Jesus’ command to “pray always” (Luke 18:1; see also 1 Thessalonians 5:17). Through this prayer\, the people of God sanctify the day by continual praise of God and prayers of intercession for the needs of the world. \nEvening Prayer (Vespers) begins with the Sign of the Cross\, a call for God’s help\, and a hymn appropriate to the liturgical season. It continues with the Psalmody\, consisting of psalms and a New Testament canticle\, each introduced by an antiphon and followed by a brief moment of silence.\nA Scripture reading is then proclaimed\, followed by a short responsory. The heart of Evening Prayer is the Gospel Canticle\, the Magnificat (Canticle of Mary)\, prayed with special reverence and introduced by an antiphon.\nThe prayer continues with intercessions for the Church and the world\, the Lord’s Prayer\, and a concluding prayer. The celebration ends with a blessing and dismissal\, sending the faithful forth in peace.
