About the Daily Office

[Hipster_Doofus]

I pray a version of the Daily Office from a book called “Shorter Christian Prayer.” The problem is, I work from home and tend to get up in the afternoon and go to bed close to sunrise.

So should I pray the morning prayer when I get up, or skip it entirely and just pray the evening prayer after it gets dark or what? And should I pray the night prayer when I retire, just as the sun is coming up?

:twocents: I would pray the hours according to the clock, rather than according to my schedule – Night Prayer, after all, contains the verse “Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake, watch over us as we sleep; that awake we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep rest in his peace”.

Pray Morning Prayer before you go to sleep!

pray the hours according to the actual time of day, which means you may be praying evening prayer when you wake up (as I did for many years) and morning prayer before your bedtime.
