Each
Office has a particular intention:
-
Lauds/Morning
Prayer - we
give thanks for our creation, preservation, vocation; the
blessing of grace and for the hope of glory; for the unity of
the Church and the peace of the world; for all in danger or
distress
-
Eucharist/Midday
Office - we pray in union with the Passion of our Lord; for
those who hate or ignore Christ; for those bound to him and to
us by ties of love; for those now sharing his suffering and
death
-
Vespers/Evening
Prayer - we adore God, in union with all who worship Him, in time and
in eternity
-
Compline
- we pray for all the departed; for those who are working at
night; for the starving, homeless and tempted and, for us all,
repentance and confidence in God.
In addition to
their corporate worship, the Sisters
set
aside
time
for personal
prayer
morning and evening.
