Morning Prayer

Struggling with prayer?
Looking for something more?
Morning Prayer may be the answer!
Join us at Our Lady of Sorrows.


Monday – Friday at 6:30 am (Mass follows at 7:00 am)
Saturdays at 8:35 am (Mass follows at 9:00 am)
Sundays at 7:30 am (Mass follows at 8:00 am)

This Morning Prayer [Lauds] is taken from the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours, often referred to as the “Divine Office.” Clergy and those in consecrated life are obliged to pray it in order to sanctify each day, but it is a treasure that all of the baptized are encouraged to pray.

Public prayer in common is among the primary duties of the Church and so we are pleased to offer this opportunity for our parishioners and others to become of one mind in prayer. Deacon Salvatore Petro has graciously offered to lead this daily prayer.

Morning Prayer, like the other Hours of the day, is comprised of the Psalms, a brief Scripture reading, a Gospel canticle, and Intercessions. Why not give it a try? You are certainly encouraged to remain for the Mass that follows but you are welcome for Morning Prayer alone if that is what your schedule allows!

Join us because:

• The Church encourages it.
• It provides a foundation and structure for your prayer life.
• It will improve your knowledge of Scripture and of Christ.
• Your appreciation of the liturgical year will grow.

Your day will begin with the Lord.
