Dear Friend,

Lent can be a fruitful time of penance and prayer. Among the Church’s many beautiful devotions, Night Prayer provides an opportunity for you and your family or parish group to enter more deeply into the mystery of this season.

“The Liturgy of the Hours: A Guide to Night Prayer for Lent” includes adapted orders of Night Prayer for Lent, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, along with links to video tutorials.

We hope that you enjoy reflecting and praying with this free ebook. If your vocation involves teaching or leading others in liturgical practice, consider joining us at Notre Dame this summer for the 2018 Church Life Summer Institute Liturgy Symposia. If you have questions, please contact Carolyn Pirtle, Program Director of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy at cpirtle@nd.edu.

May this season of Lent be a time of quiet prayer and reflection, and a time of growing closer to God as we contemplate with the Church his saving work in Jesus Christ.

Peace,

Timothy O’Malley
Academic Director, Notre Dame Center for Liturgy
