One of the wonderful things about the Internet is the
ability for people to express their opinions in ways never
before. This paper is specifically not an academic paper
but is a personal reflection on the Divine Office from the
point of view of a Roman Catholic priest.

Since posting this a while ago, some have noticed that my
grammar and spelling is not great. I really do welcome
revisions, criticism, etc.
In placing this on my web page, I offer it for the
reflection of all who pray the Office.
Introduction
1. Why we are not an 'Office
Church'
2. The nature of the Office and
Worship
3. The prayer
itself
4. Making the Office MY
prayer.
