21st Lenten Lecture with Dr. Paul Hahn
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Dr. Paul Hahn, will present the fourth Lenten Lecture about "The Development of the Divine Office" on March 10, 2010.
This is the fourth 2010 Lenten Lecture in the series. Areas of "The Liturgy of the Catholic Church: Selected Topics” will be presented every Wednesday in Lent.
Please join Dr. Paul Hahn, Chair of the Theology Department at the University of St. Thomas, for a presentation of the development of this rich liturgical tradition and a discussion of what praying the Hours might mean for us today.
The early Church did not just worship its Lord through the sacraments; it also developed a system of daily prayers. These became known as the "Divine Office" or the "Liturgy of the Hours."
From its roots in Judaism to its enlargement under the Benedictines and its compilation as the medieval "breviary," this system of prayers was been integral to the liturgy of the Church. Most recently, the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s mandated a revision of the Divine Office and urged greater participation in it by the laity.
