Book of Hours

The Book of Hours, intended for the daily home prayer performed by the hour.

This is the Book of Hours, intended for the daily home prayer performed by the hour.

The purpose of the creation of this Book of Hours is the desire to retrieve private prayer to its conciliar foundations. We believe in a conciliar, not a private church, and we receive salvation not individually and in private, but conciliarly, through the church as a congregation, which means that our home prayer should not be separated from the conciliar prayer.

The basic principle of the church's liturgical system is the consecration through Acolouthia of all the milestones of the daily cycle and every day of the year. Naturally, the sequences of the Book of Hours for Home Use are adapted for their performance by the laymen, and therefore, while compiling the miscellany, there have even been prayers from the prayer book which are familiar to everyone.

The offered Book of Hours is not intended to replace participation in the conciliarly worship but, at the same time, is composed in such a way that it can be used both privately, individually, and at a general prayer meeting in a chapel or a church.
