Evening Prayerbook: Sunday Vespers, Liturgy of the Hours Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Be you Catholic or Christian (as this book was designed and was meant for -- but it is not limited to --Catholics) you will find The Evening Prayerbook: Sunday Vespers a unique and great (as well as beautiful) resource and addition to your prayer life.

For Catholics, it has always been the tradition of the Church to make the Psalms the main texts through which Her voice is heard. Thus, the Psalms are intimately intertwined in the Church's Liturgy and prayers throughout the year, as the 150 Psalms flow from one liturgical season to the other. Christians whose love for the Bible is great, recognize together with Catholics the voice of Christ Himself in the Psalms, speaking to the Father and teaching us to pray.The Psalms, then, are central to the life of the Church.Their prayer and recital, mostly by monks and religious, have been, throughout the ages the pulse -- an indication as it were -- of the health of the Mystical Body of Christ marking the beating of the Body's Heart in their regularity and beautiful cycles. If the Church in Her Wisdom considers the Psalms essential to Her Life requiring Her priests and religious to recite them daily in the Liturgy of the Hours, should we not think about them in the same way?

I find Evening Prayers: Sunday Vespers a beautiful, easy to use resource to pray within the family in union with the Church.Beyond the time devoted to Mass and the Liturgy on Sundays one can, through Sunday Vespers, sing to God the Father the love of God the Son "in the words Our Saviour gave us" (and in a beautiful format!). This book is a great way to pray and be heard for no words spoken to God are more effective than those inspired by Himself. I deeply recommend the Evening Prayers: Sunday Vespers to all.

Product Description:
Many of us have lost hope of ever developing a liturgical prayer life. We love the Mass but we don't know how to extend the liturgy to the rest of our day. We have heard of the Liturgy of the Hours, but it seems so complicated, with all its flipping of pages to find the right psalms, hymns, responsories, canticles, and readings!
Now there's an answer. In response to the Holy Father's encouragement for the laity to pray the Liturgy of the Hours, this beautiful edition (approved by the Church) makes praying Sunday Evening Prayer a breeze! Each Sunday of the year is laid out-start to finish-on two facing pages. Praying the Liturgy of the Hours couldn't be easier!
