Divine Office - Praying the Liturgy of the Hours
The Liturgy of the Hours is the official prayers of the Church. It's not just for priests and religious. The laity are encouraged to recite the divine office! (CCC 1175) You may find the Liturgy of the Hours for each day at DivineOffice.org.

Daily Readings - Praying with the Bible
The Church encourages Catholics to make reading the Bible part of our daily lives. It helps us to grow deeper in our relationship with God and understand our place in His Church. Unlike reading a novel, reading the Bible should begin and end with prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to open our hearts and minds to God's Word.
A great way to begin reading the Bible daily is by reading the Daily Readings (the readings read daily at Mass). You may find the Daily Readings HERE.
If you would like to read the entire Bible in one year, an online daily reading plan may be found HERE.
