The Sanctifying Function of the Church » Other Acts of Divine Worship » The Liturgy of the Hours
Canon 1173. In fulfilment of the priestly office of Christ, the Church celebrates the liturgy of the hours, wherein it listens to God speaking to his people and recalls the mystery of salvation. In this way, the Church praises God without ceasing, in song and prayer, and it intercedes with him for the salvation of the whole world.

Ecclesia, sacerdotale munus Christi adimplens, liturgiam horarum celebrat, qua Deum ad populum suum loquentem audiens et memoriam mysterii salutis agens, Ipsum sine intermissione, cantu et oratione, laudat atque interpellat pro totius mundi salute.
Canon 1174. §1 Clerics are obliged to recite the liturgy of the hours, in accordance with can. 276, §2, n. 3; members of institutes of consecrated life and of societies of apostolic life are obliged in accordance with their constitutions.

§2 Others also of Christ’s faithful are earnestly invited, according to circumstances, to take part in the liturgy of the hours as an action of the Church.

§1. Obligatione liturgiae horarum persolvendae adstringuntur clerici, ad normam can. 276, §2, n. 3; sodales vero institutorum vitae consecratae necnon societatum vitae apostolicae, ad normam suarum constitutionum.

§2. Ad participandam liturgiam horarum, utpote actionem Ecclesiae, etiam ceteri christifideles, pro adiunctis, enixe invitantur.
Canon 1175. In carrying out the liturgy of the hours, each particular hour is, as far as possible, to be recited at the time assigned to it.

In liturgia horarum persolvenda, quantum fieri potest, verum tempus servetur uniuscuiusque horae.
