Hinge Hours for Christmas

Hinge Hours For Christmas is a meditation rendering of Psalms (63), Canticles (14), Scripture Readings on the Christian Life (40), and traditional songs from the public domain (36), arranged for the two "hinge hours" of Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer for the cycle of the Season of Christmas. Designed by a parish priest as a straightforward introduction to praying the Liturgy of the Hours, the Hinge Hours can also be used for private prayer and meditation by veterans of the breviary. Stephen Joseph Wolf was a parish priest in Nashville for 22 years who spent most Mondays in silence and solitude writing for faith sharing groups and spiritual direction. No longer a priest, the psalms and canticles are still at the center of his prayer life. For more information visit www.idjc.info.
