La Oración Vespertina es parte de la Liturgia de las Horas, una de las ora-

Esta oración es universal en el sentido de que se reza en toda la Iglesia a través de todo el mundo, todos los días.
Aquí en San José tendrémos la oportunidad de orar con la Iglesia en general en esta maravillosa y antigua oración de la Iglesia. Por favor, ven y únete a rezar con nosotros los cuatro sábados de Adviento. El primer sábado es el 2 de diciembre de 2018 a las 6:30 p.m.
