NOTES:
  • Pope Benedict XVI recommended the laity pray at least those marked with an asterisk when they are able.
  • Lauds and Vespers are the two hinges: consecrating the day to the Lord, and thanking Him at the end of the day.
  • The times above are traditional and are a useful guide. Compline is prayed right before going to bed, even if that is after midnight.
