Whether you have prayed the offices for years or are opening them for the first time, follow the service from its opening words to its closing blessing.
From morning prayer to Compline
Begin the day with Matins, pause for prayer at midday, and close with Vespers or Compline. Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, and the Litany offer further ways to pray.
