Instructions:

• Just as you would add your prayer intentions before praying the Rosary, add your prayer intentions before praying the Divine Office.

• For compline you will either do an examination of conscience or pray the "Our Father."

• Traditionally the "Our Father" is said in partial silence, which is why you'll hear a long silence at the beginning of the "Our Father" in three different spots during the hours.

(Add your Prayer Intentions before praying)
