St Alphonsus Liguori on the Merits of Reciting the Divine Office
I add that when the Office is recited without devotion and with only the thought of getting done as quickly as possible, it then becomes a heavy and boring burdens, and seems never to end; but on the contrary, when it is recited with devotion, with a desire to profit thereby, by applying the mind and the heart to that which is spoken by the mouth, the burden becomes light and sweet, as the Saints have well experiences, who found greater pleasure in reciting the Office than the worldly find in their secular entertainments. In one single Office recited with devotion many degrees of glory in heaven may be gained; what a treasure of merits will be obtained from the Office said thus (i.e. with devotion) for thirty or forty years of one’s life! (From the prologue of St Alphonsus Liguori’s translation of the psalms and canticles with commentary, which he published in 1775 as an aid to the clergy in the devout recitation of the Office. h/t N.W.)
