Meditations and Catechesis on the Psalms and Canticles of Morning Prayer
John Paul II, Pope
John Paul II’s catecheses on the Psalms and Canticles of Morning Prayer
For many centuries priests and religious have had a precise mandate to celebrate the Liturgy of the Hours. In this series of Catecheses John Paul II devotes himself to promoting the Liturgy of the Hours as a prayer of the whole People of God. The Holy Father offers original and illuminating reflections on each of the psalms and canticles leading the reader to deeper meditation and understanding. The Psalms and Canticles of Morning Prayer are also reproduced here for convenience.
Our reading will aim above all at bringing out the religious meaning of the Psalms, together we will learn from Tradition and will listen above all to the Fathers of the Church and identify the great key to understanding the Psalms as Christ himself.
