The Pope Tells Priest that their Praying the Divine Office Is Really Really Important.

I am still trying to catch up on all that the Pope said on his recent trip to Austria. This slipped my notice but not the the notice of UK Catholic Blogger -On The Side of the Angels { Radical Orthodox Catholicism in The New Millennium }. The Pope said:

The "determining factor" in Liturgy is "our looking to God" "The interior disposition of each priest, and of each consecrated person, must be that of “putting nothing before the divine Office"

How true. Priest are so busy today that the Liturgy of the Hours is even more important for them to ground themselves and to take a breath from the hertic demand we all put on them.

Go his post The Pope In Austria - with a note to the clergy... for more.
