With a simpler structure than the official Roman rite for the Liturgy of the Hours, this prayer is more accessible to all members of the Church. Thus it renews the original intent of morning and evening prayer as the prayer of the whole Church. 
This adaptation is in keeping with a long tradition of accommodating morning and evening prayer to the needs of the particular faith community. The language is inclusive, only 45 psalms (chosen for their appropriateness to the time of day and daily rhythm of the paschal mystery) are used, and the work is arranged in a two-week series that begins on the weekend. 
Two marked styles shape the prayer offered. The weekdays are more contemplative; the structure is simple, the psalms are recited. Weekends are noticeably festive; the structure is more elaborate and much of the prayer is sung. 
The simple structure means no ordo is needed, page-flipping is kept to a minimum, and music is included to encourage singing of appropriate elements. Suggestions for choosing scriptural texts are included in the introduction; the scriptural texts themselves are not included.

An annual resource for parish ministers, liturgists, pastors, and planning committees, Living Liturgy™ offers a practical means for reflection on and celebration of Mass for Sundays and solemnities as well as select other days. Living Liturgy™ integrates spirituality and celebration, catechesis and pastoral practice, the ministry of the assembly and other ministries so that celebrating and living go hand-in-hand. Written by a pastorally experienced team with expertise in Scripture, spiritual direction, liturgy, and liturgical music, Living Liturgy™ teaches that we learn from each other of the fullness of God's mystery, and by learning and worshiping together we enrich each other. Living Liturgy™ helps people live a liturgical spirituality. This is a way of living rooted in liturgy, which opens their vision to their baptismal identity as the Body of Christ and shapes their living according to the dying and rising rhythm of the paschal mystery. The paschal mystery is the entire saving mystery of Jesus Christ---his life, mission, passion, death, resurrection, ascension, sending of the Spirit, and promised second coming---and our participation in this mystery. Liturgy enacts in the here and now Christ's mystery and sends each one of us forth to live this mystery. Anyone involved with liturgical planning and preparation will benefit from using this resource, including pastoral ministers, liturgy directors, musicians, and liturgy committee members. Living Liturgy™ also assists those who serve the community in the visible liturgical ministries---presiders, deacons, music ministers, hospitality ministers, altar ministers, lectors, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion---because it clearly shows that each ministry deserves not only practical preparation but, even more important, spiritual preparation. Further, catechumens, candidates, and sponsors use Living Liturgy™ to support and deepen their liturgical journey within the RCIA. Members of faith-sharing groups use this resource as the focus of weekly prayer and reflection together. Parents and teachers will find that Living Liturgy™ can be simplified and shared with younger members of the liturgical community. "Living Liturgy now sits right next to my Lectionary and Sacramentary as a primary source for liturgical planning, and my own personal preparation for entering into liturgical celebration. An absolute must for liturgists, pastors, and parish music ministers." David Haas, Director of The Emmaus Center for Music, Prayer, and Ministry "Living Liturgy is superb and a valuable addition to material that is useful in assisting the spiritual growth of liturgical ministers and preparation for Sunday celebration. It is a jubilee grace on the pilgrimage to becoming a profoundly Eucharistic people." Glenn Kuhnel, Liturgy Office Diocese of St. Augustine.
