| Summary: | Canon 1174 §2 of the 1983 Latin code states that the Christian faithful are earnestly invited to participate in the celebration of the liturgy of the hours according to circumstances. This study addresses the following questions: How does this canon relate to liturgical law? What are the sources and history behind this short canon? What is expected of the faithful in the celebration of the liturgy of the hours as envisioned by the renewed rite following the Second Vatican Council? To be discussed are also ecclesiological reflections on the celebration of the liturgy of the hours and practicalities concerning participation. With the use of canonical measures, the Church fulfills her duty of sanctifying the People of God, who pray without ceasing. |
