At waking
Morning Prayer
“In the morning you hear my voice.” — Psalm 5
Before the day takes hold, a psalm and the day's Gospel. We give the first hour to the Lord, and let it set the tone for all the rest.
Pray · LaudsThe green season
The long, faithful following — day after ordinary day.
No great feast, no fast — only the steady following of Christ through the ordinary week. The longest stretch of the year is the least dramatic and the most real: green for growth, for the quiet, daily work of a life of prayer. Solua keeps the rhythm with you, morning to night.
Ordinary Time runs in two stretches — after Christmas, and from Pentecost to Advent — some thirty-three weeks in all.
Per Annum — through the year, walking with Christ.
Morning · midday · evening
Three hinges of the ordinary day.
The Church has always turned the day on prayer — a word at waking, a pause at noon, a stillness at nightfall. In Ordinary Time these become the quiet frame that holds an unremarkable day to God.
At noon
The Angelus
“The Word was made flesh.” — John 1
The bell at midday. Whatever the work, we stop and remember the Incarnation — three Hail Marys to hinge the day on its centre.
Pray · the AngelusAt nightfall
Night Prayer
“Into your hands I commend my spirit.” — Psalm 31
The day examined and let go. We give thanks, ask pardon, and place the night in God's keeping before sleep — and begin again tomorrow.
Pray · ComplineThe prayer of the whole Church
The seven hours of the day.
From the monasteries outward, the Church marks the hours with psalms — the Liturgy of the Hours, prayed around the clock and around the world. To pray an hour is to join a prayer that never stops rising.

I always thought the ‘ordinary’ weeks were the boring ones. Solua taught me they're the ones that actually make a life of prayer — one quiet morning at a time.
