The Spanish Liturgy of the Hours and the New U.S. Translation
Dear community, As we begin a new liturgical year this Advent, we are filled with hope and anticipation — both for the coming of Christ at Christmas and for the mission and growth of DivineOffice.org. Over the years, your prayers and support have helped us reach hundreds of thousands of faithful around the world, making the Liturgy of the Hours accessible and a true place of prayer for the community. Next year we are taking on new challenges for the greater glory of God. Plans for the future We are preparing two major initiatives: Spanish Translation and Audio Recording of the Liturgy of the Hours In 2026 we plan to extend the reach of our Divine Office ministry and produce faithful translations and high-quality audio recordings of the full Liturgy of the Hours in Spanish. We don't strive to be publishers of text, but rather facilitators of Liturgical prayer. Divine Office has already gathered together diverse communities and a growing number of our users speak Spanish as their primary language. We hope that praying in Spanish will be felt both as connecting with one’s cultural and spiritual heritage and a meaningful way to worship and feel part of the public prayer of the Church, Christ’s Mystical Body. Recording the New U.S. Translation The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is finalizing a new official English translation of the Liturgy of the Hours. We will make every effort to secure permissions and royalty arrangements in order to prepare for the upcoming translation. Both of these initiatives will require considerable time, talent, and financial resources. And both will expand our mission to make the official prayer of the Church available in more languages and formats, for a global and growing prayer community. How you can be part of the effort We are running an year-end fundraiser now through the Baptism of the Lord. Help us to strengthen our bonds, grow our numbers and prepare for the future. : Translation and review of Spanish texts Recording editing and producing Spanish audio Platform updates to support multilingual content Licensing costs for the new translation Visit to make your one-time or recurring donation. Every gift helps. Even a small monthly contribution makes a big difference when given faithfully. Thank You for Being Part of This Community You are not supporting just a website or an app. You are helping thousands pray daily, many for the first time. It's with your help that prayer reaches the most vulnerable of us, the homebound, the visually impaired, the lonely, and the many seeking a deeper relationship with God. Thank you for praying with us. Thank you for being the hands and heart of Divine Office. Divine Office Team
