Some of us, perhaps even your friends, pray the breviary prayer regularly. It is made up of several parts, regularly repeated each day. It is connected to the Liturgy of the Hours, so the individual parts of the prayer must be recited at specific times. But is it necessary to kneel all the time? Is it possible to recite the breviary sitting down?

Let's start from the fact that one can pray in any place and at any time - on the way to school, before going to bed, in church. There are no specific rules of "praying more effectively" if it is done on one's knees in front of a holy picture. Everything depends on the attitude of the heart. If it is open to God, His action and His Word, a person may as well stand, sit, lie down or kneel.

The same is true of the breviary. It can be recited sitting down, although standing up is recommended for certain parts. In addition, it is advisable to take part in some of the services as a group, in church. Helps This in concentration and entry into the character of the liturgy. However, it is not an obligation. Therefore, if you are wondering whether it is possible to recite the breviary sitting down, the answer is simple - yes, you can.
