Here you will find a structure of the daily office with a variety of morning prayers to pray throughout the week. Experience the benefits of a disciplined prayer time with videos, Monday through Saturday, posted each week.

 If being committed to prayer describes you, be sure to  let us know that you, too, have moved from intention to commitment and are praying with us.
