St. Pius X on the Divine Office

In case you missed it, today’s Office of Readings has this lovely excerpt from Divino Afflatu. It’s everything you need to know about why the psalms are just about the best prayer in the world.

Last week we discussed what to do when the Liturgy of the Hours becomes–due to our own defects–routine and boring.
