Vespers at Newman, Daily at 5:15p |
|
Vespers
(Evening Prayer)
is part of the 'Liturgy of the Hours' (also called the
Divine
Office), the
official prayer of the Church. The 'Liturgy of the Hours' fulfills the
Gospel command to 'pray constantly.'
Recently, Newman students and extended
community members have discovered the beauty of this ancient liturgy. We
are now gathering daily at 5:15p in Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel to pray
vespers in community.
Everyone is welcome. Copies of the Office
will be provided and we will be happy to guide newcomers through this
beautiful liturgy. |
