Abstract
This pastoral project is about passing on the tradition of praying the Liturgy
of the Hours. Passing on tradition is a basic human activity. In fact, not only we
humans, but also all of creation pass on our traditions in some way. The past is
continuously carried into the present and influencing the future. We live in an
ecological system which is constantly renewing itself in a never-ending cycle of
birthing and dying. We come from families made up of an ever-changing cast as
some members die and new members are born from new unions. The cultural
expression of our humanity changes. We find new ways to do the same things
people have always done, to carry on the tradition of living in relationship with our
world, other persons, and a divinity we view as being greater than creation itself.
