I’ve always wanted to pray it but I don’t have the book and I found that sitting in front of a computer screen just doesn’t work for me.

I found Divine Office podcast! Does it count as me praying, if I listen, and do the responses when I am supposed to?

Thanks!

… my dear friend …

… it is prayer if you do not just passively listen , that is - just hear the prayer , but if you focus your mind as well as you can and consciously make the prayer your own and let it seep into your heart and pray with your whole heart as full of love as you can to god it is extremely pleasing to him , i have some beautiful prayers on my ipod i often use this way - rosary , mary’s way of the cross , divine mercy chaplet , and audio books inluding bibles and spiritual classics - its a great aid to prayer for sure , so go for it - but don’t do it passively as it is not prayer to just or only hear prayer — participate in it dear friend , hope this helps …

… god bless you 👍🙂 …

Cool 😃

Yes I do participate, the website has the readings and all the responses, and as I sit on my knees I rest the iPod on my bed and hands together I follow everything and listen intently.

I was just hoping that this was pleasing to God and counts all the same! I do the Morning, Evening and Night time prayer (Rosary on my own straight after the Evening prayer) and I’ve found it pretty awesome so I was hoping that I am doing the right thing!

Why wouldn’t it count all the same? Of what I understand, whether you recite the Divine Office alone or in a group, you are reciting in union with the rest of the Catholic Community all over. I would think that doing it with a podcast would not only help but highlight that aspect of community.

Imagine how nice it would be if a whole group all over the world could gather together over Skype and recite together?
