Excerpt from The Secular's Office: Or Appropriate Exercises for Every Day in the Week, Arranged in a Form Similar to That of the Roman Breviary
Writings of the ancient fathers. It is distri buted into seven portions, which, in Catholic countries, are chanted at different hours of the day. The object of the church, in establishing this discipline among her clergy, was to remind them of one of their most essential duties, the practice of fervent and frequent prayer, by which they are bound to honor the majesty of God, and to appear before him as intercessors in behalf of the people whom he has confided to their care. The clergy, therefore, are called, in a special manner, to the performance of this duty, by the very nature of their holy and sublime vocation: but the laity have a similar obliga tion to' discharge. The temptations to which they are continually exposed amid the dis tractions of the world; the efforts that are constantly requisite to overcome their evil inclinations; the strength which they need.
