"Augustinian life, in part, revolves around praying the Office. We are conscious of the importance St. Augustine placed on praying the Psalms, who believed that the Psalms are a history of the soul. It is very edifying that when we pray this Liturgy in our chapel, our hearts and voices are in communion with Christ, who prayed the Psalms on earth, and with the whole Church. Beginning, punctuating, and ending the day with this communal prayer helps me to perceive the hand of God in the midst of busyness and discernment of this way of life: 'You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You.' (Confessions 1, 1)." --https://augustinianvocations.org/blog-archive/2018/11/13/why-we-pray-the-liturgy-of-the-hours
