Paragraph 24. Communities of canons, monks, nuns, and other religious who celebrate the liturgy of the hours by rule or according to their constitutions, whether with the general rite or a particular rite, in whole or in part, represent in a special way the Church at prayer. They are a fuller sign of the Church as it continuously praises God with one voice and they fulfill the duty of "working" above all by prayer, "to build up and increase the whole Mystical Body of Christ, and for the good of the local Churches." This is especially true of those living the contemplative life.
