“The hymns and litanies of the Liturgy of the Hours integrate the prayer of the psalms into the age of the Church, expressing the symbolism of the time of day, the liturgical season, or the feast being celebrated. In the Hours, the royal priesthood of the baptized is exercised, and this sacrifice of praise is thus connected to the sacrifice of the Eucharist, both preparing for and flowing from the Mass.
Morning and Evening Prayer also include intercessions that flow from the scriptural proclamation just as the Psalms prepare for it. The Gospel canticle acts as a kind of meditative extension of the scriptural proclamation in light of the Christ event. These each include a Gospel canticle: the Canticle of Zechariah from Luke 1:68-79 for Morning Prayer (known as the Benedictus), and the Canticle of Mary from Luke 1:46-55 for Evening Prayer (known as the Magnificat). The two most important or hinge Hours are Morning and Evening Prayer. Each of the five canonical Hours includes selections from the Psalms that culminate in a scriptural proclamation.

When understood correctly (this edition has a short explanation preceding each psalm), these are the intentions for which Holy Mother Church wants us to pray for ourselves, for the Church and for all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ. This is better than private prayer it's the prayer of the entire Mystical Body because you pray with one heart with the millions of other clerics, religious and laymen around the world who have prayed and are praying these exact same prayers, AND because you adopt the intentions of the psalmist as you pray. Join your voice with the Church and her members Prime is the perfect Morning Prayer, Compline the perfect night prayer, and Sext is for the middle of the day. Here you have the most critical hours of the Divine Office for the layman in the world.
