Episode 2 – Praying the Psalms – Praying the Liturgy of the Hours with Fr. Timothy Gallagher
From “Praying the Liturgy of the Hours,” Fr. Gallagher shares:
My psalter is my joy. —Saint Augustine
SINCE THE OLD TESTAMENT times when they were written, people of faith have loved the Psalms. Devout Jews turned to these one hundred fifty prayers in times of joy and sorrow, of peace and desperate need. Jesus knew, quoted, and prayed the Psalms; in him, the fullness of divine revelation, the Psalms acquired their deepest meaning. 1 The early Christians likewise prayed them and, when the persecutions of the first centuries ceased, gathered for this prayer in their churches.
