The Liturgy of the Hours
is the Public Prayer of the Church

    Appointed for the work of divine praise, the nuns, in union with Christ, glorify God for the eternal purpose of his will and the marvelous dispensation of grace. They intercede with the Father of mercies for the universal Church as well as for the needs and salvation of the whole world. This joyful celebration joins the pilgrim Church to the Church in glory. Hence the solemn celebration of the liturgy is the heart of our whole life and the chief source of its unity.

Constitutions

    Christ Jesus, High Priest of the new and eternal Covenant, taking human nature, introduced into this earthly exile that hymn which is sung throughout all ages in the halls of heaven. He joins the entire community of mankind to Himself, associating it with His own singing of this canticle of divine praise. For he continues His priestly work through the agency of His Church, which is ceaselessly engaged in praising the Lord and interceding for the salvation of the whole world. She does this, not only by celebrating the eucharist, but also in other ways, especially by praying the divine office. By tradition going back to early Christian times, the divine office is devised so that the whole course of the day and night is made holy by the praises of God.... The Divine Office, in that it is the public prayer of the Church, is a source of devotion and nourishment for personal prayer.

Adoration

"... zeal in praying and consecrating one's self to God
for the unity of the Church
should be practiced particularly by religious,
both men and women,
inasmuch as they are in a special way
devoted to the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament,
according it homage and honor on earth,
in virtue of their vows."
