A must have if you have any curiosity about the Liturgy of the Hours or the Divine Office
Granted, I LOVE the Office. I’m a Benedictine oblate and follow Benedictine spirituality, therefore the Office is a large part of my life. This amazing talk by Dr. Pitre is wonderfully informative, and yet spiritual (like all of his talks). I highly recommend it if you’re interested in the origins of the office and psalmody in Christian and Jewish practice.
