Benedict to Priests: "spend much time praying the Divine Office"

The Holy Father encouraged priests not to be afraid "to spend much time reading and meditating on the Scriptures and praying the Divine Office! Almost without your knowing it, God's word, read and pondered in the Church, acts upon you and transforms you."

-- His Holiness Benedict XVI at Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris, on September 13, 2008.
