Copies in unread or lightly read condition are increasingly uncommon nearly fifty years after publication. Did You Know? The Liturgy of the Hours traces its roots to the ancient Jewish practice of fixed daily prayer — the same tradition referenced in Acts when the apostles go to the Temple "at the hour of prayer." The post-Vatican II reform simplified the traditional seven canonical hours and made the single-volume Christian Prayer accessible to laypeople for the first time at an affordable price.
