The purpose of this project is prayer.
Specifically, we join with Christians worldwide and in all ages in the traditional daily prayer called the Liturgy of the Hours.
Paul Rose has been making an average of two podcasts per day since December 2020. He and his family have been on a journey of discovery, as we move deeper into the Great Tradition of the Christian religion, and specifically into the millennia-long life of Roman Catholicism.
In December 2019, Paul’s sister bought him his first Breviary. COVID hit a few months later, along with the depression and anxiety that accompanied it for so many people. His Catholic therapist recommended singing for improvement of mental health, so he picked the Breviary off the shelf and started singing five offices a day.
Knowing that there must be instructions for singing the hours, Paul spent a month scouring the internet for resources. Unfortunately, every single podcast and daily recording of Liturgy he could find was simply recited. Given that millions pray the Divine office, and that it is a sung liturgy, it surprised him that there weren’t dozens of singing resources on the world wide web.
That’s when Sing the Hours was born.
