Vespers at Newman, Thursdays at 5:15p Mass & Saturdays ~5:30p |
Vespers
(Evening Prayer)
is part of the 'Liturgy of the Hours' (also called the
Divine
Office), the
official prayer of the Church. The 'Liturgy of the Hours' fulfills the
Gospel command to 'pray constantly.'
Recently, Newman students and extended
community members have discovered the beauty of this ancient liturgy. We
are now gathering at 5:15p on Thursdays for Mass and Vespers in Our Lady
Seat of Wisdom Chapel and Saturdays following the 4:30 Mass to pray vespers
in community.
Everyone is welcome. Copies of the Office
will be provided and we will be happy to guide newcomers through this
beautiful liturgy. |
