Liturgy of the Hours Resources
Beginner’s Guides to the LOTH 4 Volume set and the single volume Christian Prayer book
These cover the various components of the prayer books, ribbon placement, and basic instructions for how to pray the different hours of the day
Each month we post the page numbers that you need to pray each part of Morning and Evening Prayer (antiphons, psalms, readings, etc)
General Instructions on the Liturgy of the Hours (PDF)
Anyone who prays the Liturgy of the Hours really should read the General Instructions. It is the most comprehensive guide to the Church’s teaching on the Liturgy of the Hours. You can find an abbreviated version in the single volume Christian Prayer book and the full text in volume 1 of the LOTH 4 volume set.

DivineOffice.org App (Android)
In my opinion, this is the best LOTH app available – and it is FREE right now! Even if you do not pray with your phone or iPad, I recommend that you get it now while this offer lasts.
This is also a great app for praying the Liturgy of the Hours
