Daily Prayers
"Lord, open our lips.
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise."
The Daily Office
The Daily Office is an ancient practice that uses daily prayers to mark the various times of the day. For Episcopalians (and other Anglicans), this generally comes in the form of the two main offices of Daily Morning Prayer and Daily Evening Prayer. They may be led by lay people and are said communally or individually. Other offices as in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (BCP) include Noonday Prayer and Compline, which is the last of the four daily offices.
At Resurrection, Daily Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, and Daily Evening Prayer are most often said individually. Morning Prayer may be offered during a Sunday service when Holy Communion is not available.
