Completed All Liturgy of Hours Since Wife Did Marian Cenacle Devotion for Family in Spring 2024

Thank you, God, and to my wife's devotion to Jesus' Mother.  I credit this for helping me to do all the Liturgy of the Hours, even the parts that deacons are not required to pray.  Admittedly, I've been late with parts of it, but there is progress.  

Until now, I've never done the entire Liturgy of Hours (beyond Lauds and Vespers that deacons make a promise to pray daily) in my 50 years of life, of which 10 years were in the diaconate.  So I am grateful for this in 2024.

Merry Christmas 2024!
