How do we get seven hours? They originated from careful reading of Scripture and from tradition. Psalm 119 (verse 164) states "Seven times a day I will praise you." ... Saint Benedict, the great monastic founder, wanted his monks to pray seven hour daily, to correspond with scripture. He called the seven hours of prayer the "opus Dei," the work of God.

Traditionally, religious prayed the Liturgy of the Hours seven times daily. Some clergy, religious, and laity still do! Others pray the Liturgy of the Hours two or three times daily. How often will you pray? That will depend on your likes, your time, and your obligations. p.16
