I have now been praying all three canticles for many years. They make a perfect end for each of the âhoursâ they grace: the Benedictus in the morning at lauds; the Magnificat in the evening at vespers; the Nunc Dimittus or Canticle of Simeon as the last hour of prayer at night, or compline.
The Benedictus, also known as the Canticle of Zechariah, is a fatherâs thanks for the gift of his son, John the Baptist. Some scholars say this canticle was added to the liturgy of the hours by St. Benedict of Nursia, who made the divine office a central part of Benedictine spirituality.
