Divine Office...

HERE
Outstanding talk by The Liturgy Guys (HERE) on the Liturgy of the Hours (Brievery) or "rightly" referred to as...The Divine Office!

This is the Prayer of Christ to the Father...The public prayer of the Church...Christ, Our Head Leads us, His body, in prayer to our Father!
Our Brother taught us how to pray and this Office (or work) of prayer is just that...It is our adopted brother, Jesus Christ, praying and continuing to pray, and we are able to join Him in doing so.

They "unpack" Chapter 4 ~ "The Divine Office" of  Sacrosanctum Concilium (SC)
This is the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy solemnly promulgated by Pope Paul VI, Dec. 4, 1963...
And something, as potential deacons, we should learn a thing or two about.

Just their "unpacking" of this first statement (83 SC) is mind-blowing. You could listen to the first part of this and just reflect...and be in awe!
Listen and LEARN... 
We are praying with, in, and through Jesus Christ!!!
WOW!!!
Bold emphasis is mine

Christ Jesus, high priest of the new and eternal covenant, taking human nature, introduced into this earthly exile that hymn which is sung throughout all ages in the halls of heaven. He joins the entire community of mankind to Himself, associating it with His own singing of this canticle of divine praise (SC 83).

----------------------------------------------------------------

Hence all who render this service are not only fulfilling a duty of the Church, but also are sharing in the greatest honor of Christ's spouse, for by offering these praises to God they are standing before God's throne in the name of the Church their Mother (SC 85).

Reflect on this before you think you HAVE to do Morning/Evening Prayer...Re-read SC 85 and understand just WHO you are in front of when praying this Office!

------------------------------------------------------------

Pray the Divine Office, and you will "hear" the voice of our Lord...There is NOT a good reason NOT to pray the office... 

The divine office, because it is the public prayer of the Church, is a source of piety, and nourishment for personal prayer (SC 90).

Your personal prayer life will grow when you pray the Office...

As a beginner, I thought I was praying the office, but in reality, I was reading the office. 
All good prayer takes 2 things:
1) Devotion ~ doing it for the Love of God...
2) Attention ~ this determines how efficacious your prayer will be...
I am by no means an expert or full grown in my prayer life, but I feel that I am now praying more than just reading the office. And there is a noticeable difference within me. Moving from reading to praying takes time, intention and focus. But most of all time...the structure can be frustrating at first, but as you work thru it and take TIME to learn, it becomes easier...be patient...it will bear great fruit!
