The Standing Commission on Liturgy Music – författare

For all who are interested in the daily office and praying the hours.People in all kinds of religious traditions, including Judaism and Christianity, have been marking time with prayer for almost as long as we’ve divided the day into hours. “Praying the hours,” as it’s called, has always reminded us that God walks with us throughout each day; “praying the hours” is also a way that the community of faith comes together, whether we’re united all in one place or scattered like raindrops. In the Episcopal Church, the Book of Common Prayer offers beautiful services for morning, noon, evening, and nighttime in a section called “The Daily Office” (pp 35-146). Daily Prayer for All Seasons offers a variation on that theme, where a complete service covers one or two pages, thereby eliminating the need to shuffle prayer books and hymnals. Daily Prayer for All Seasons works for individuals, small groups, and/or congregations. This prayer book presents a variety of images of God, uses inclusive and expansive language for and about God, and presents a rich variety of language, including poetry, meditation, and prayers from the broader community of faith.

Apenas se comenzó a dividir el día en horas, personas de diversas tradiciones religiosas incluyendo el judaísmo y el cristianismo, han marcado el tiempo con la oración.

La “Liturgia de las Horas”, también conocida como el Oficio Diario, nos ha recordado a lo largo de los tiempos que Dios nos acompaña a través del día. Las oraciones del Oficio Diario proveen una manera para que la comunidad de fe se una en oración, ya esté esa comunidad reunida en un lugar común o cada individuo aparte.

El Libro de Oración Común de la Iglesia Episcopal contiene una sección titulada ‘El Oficio Diario’ donde se encuentran hermosos servicios para la hora matutina, del mediodía, al anochecer y para la noche/vespertina (págs. 36-112). El libro, ‘Oración Diaria para Todos los Tiempos’, ofrece una versión abreviada donde un servicio completo se realiza en una o dos páginas como máximo para de esa manera eliminar el intercambio de libros de oración e himnarios. Este recurso ha sido versátilmente diseñado para ser utilizado por individuos, grupos pequeños y/o congregaciones. Provee múltiples imágenes de Dios con lenguaje inclusivo y a su vez ofrece una variedad de géneros literarios (poesía, meditaciones, y oraciones) provenientes de diversas comunidades de fe.

Diseñado para episcopales y toda persona interesada en las oraciones del Oficio Diario y la Liturgia de las Horas.
