III. When is the Liturgy Celebrated?
1175
The
Liturgy of the Hours is intended to become the prayer of the whole People of
God. In it Christ himself “continues his priestly work through his
Church.”50 His members participate according to their own place in
the Church and the circumstances of their lives: priests devoted to the
pastoral ministry, because they are called to remain diligent in prayer and the
service of the word; religious, by the charism of their consecrated lives; all
the faithful as much as possible: “Pastors of souls should see to it that
the principal hours, especially Vespers, are celebrated in common in church on
Sundays and on the more solemn feasts. the laity, too, are encouraged to recite
the divine office, either with the priests, or among themselves, or even
individually.”51
