I am going to presume you are speaking of the liturgy of the hours, matins and vespers.  I didn't include compline.\n\nThe ancient Christians prayed during what are now called the canonical hours and at the time were simply called the hours of the day.  The Roman Empire did not have 24 hours and the hours were not of equal length.  They were more like periods of the day like we have afternoon, morning, dusk, dawn, night and were based upon the sun.  \n\nGo to http://www.catholicliturgy.com/index.cfm/FuseAction/DocumentContents/Index/2/SubIndex/39/DocumentIndex/2\n\nfor an extended discussion of the hours.  Eastern Catholics and Western Catholics pray the hours differently, but since you are likely referring to the Roman part of the Catholic Church I will give you the western hours.\n\nThe psalms for morning prayer today were, with the prayers and scripture reading omitted:\n\nO Lord, open my lips.\nAnd my mouth will proclaim your praise.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nThe Lord has truly risen, alleluia.\nThe Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, the world and all who live in it.\nHe himself founded it upon the seas and set it firm over the waters.\nThe Lord has truly risen, alleluia.\nWho will climb the mountain of the Lord? Who will stand in his holy place?\nThe one who is innocent of wrongdoing and pure of heart, \nwho has not given himself to vanities or sworn falsely.\nHe will receive the blessing of the Lord and be justified by God his saviour.\nThis is the way of those who seek him, seek the face of the God of Jacob.\nThe Lord has truly risen, alleluia.\nGates, raise your heads. Stand up, eternal doors, and let the king of glory enter.\nWho is the king of glory?\nThe Lord of might and power. The Lord, strong in battle.\nThe Lord has truly risen, alleluia.\nGates, raise your heads. Stand up, eternal doors, and let the king of glory enter.\nWho is the king of glory?\nThe Lord of hosts – he is the king of glory\nThe Lord has truly risen, alleluia.\nGlory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, \n as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, \n world without end. \nAmen.\n\nA suitable hymn may be inserted at this point.\n\nPsalm 84 (85) \nOur salvation is very near \nYou looked kindly, O Lord, on your land:\n you ended the captivity of Jacob.\nYou forgave your people’s unrighteousness\n and covered over their sins.\nYou reined back all of your anger\n and renounced your indignant fury.\n\nRescue us, God, our saviour,\n and turn your anger away from us.\nDo not be angry for ever\n – or will you let your wrath last from one generation to the next?\nSurely you will turn round and give us life\n – so that your people can rejoice in you?\nShow us, Lord, your kindness\n and give us your salvation.\n\nI will listen to whatever the Lord God tells me,\n for he will speak peace to his people and his chosen ones,\n and to those who repent in their hearts.\nTruly his salvation is close to those who fear him,\n so that glory may dwell in our land.\nKindness and faithfulness have met together,\n justice and peace have kissed.\nFaithfulness has sprung from the earth,\n and justice has looked down from heaven.\n\nTruly the Lord will give generously,\n and our land will be fruitful.\nJustice will walk before him\n and place its footsteps on his path.\n\nGlory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, \n as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, \n world without end. \nAmen. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nCanticle Isaiah 26 \nThanksgiving for victory \nThe city is ours,\n with its walls and ramparts,\n a refuge and stronghold.\nOpen the gates, let the just people enter,\n the nation that keeps faith.\n\nThe agreement is made: you will keep peace,\n for peace is entrusted to you.\nTrust in the Lord for all ages,\n for the Lord is your strength for ever.\n\nThe way

Genesus says an evening and morning.   The Hebrew word translates as "day" always means a day when used in conjunction with a number in non-prophetic scripture, as in Genesis 1.\nIt is clear in Exodous 20 that God meant days when he said remember the Sabbath day that the world was created in 6 days and on the 7th He rested.  They understood the sabbath came once every 7 days.\nIf this was millions of years, then consider this, God made the plants on day 3.  He placed the sun and moon on day 4.  How did these plants survive millions of years without the sun.\nAlso, some plants require inscets or other animals to carry on reproduction.  Inscets and animals were not created until days 5 and 6.  How did these plants survive millions of years without these animals?\nJesus said everything was made in 6 days.  Was he mistaken also, or do you know more than he did?\nAlso Genesis 1 talks about "days", "seasons", and "years".  If a day was millions of years, then what was a season or a year?  What was an "evening and morning"?\nI believe God is strong enough to do it exactly the way (time period) His word says it happened.

God said let there be light, some say this could have been the big bang, and I think it could.\n\nGod created "day" and "night" before He created the sun. "Day" was what the light was called, and "night" was what the darkness was called. One day and night lasts for 24 hours because it takes 24 hours for the earth to complete a rotation, and because the sun is the source of our light.\n\nBut, since light was created before the sun, it is obvious in the Bible that God's day was not dependent on the sun as the source of light, and we cannot therefore know how long His days were in Genesis. "Day" means "light", and that can mean an earth day, or it can mean some other period of time in which there is light.\n\nSo, yes, the theory is valid. It has Biblical support.\n\nThey merge in my mind quite well, by the way. Some say it's a sin to think this way, but I don't think it is a sin to make sense.

SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS!!  \n\nAccording to the Bible, after he came out of the grave, he rose up into the sky like a savior-shaped hot-air balloon, nail scars and all. If that's a foretaste of what Christians can expect, then heaven must be like Dawn of the Dead, with everyone still having all the scars, injuries, and deformities that they had while on Earth!

Man’s situation does not compare with that of the Creator, who does not reside within our solar system and who is not affected by its various cycles and orbits. Of God, who is from time indefinite to time indefinite, the psalmist says: “For a thousand years are in your eyes but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch during the night.” (Ps 90:2, 4) Correspondingly, the apostle Peter writes that “one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.” (2Pe 3:8)\n\n For man, a 1,000-year period represents some 365,242 individual time units of day and night, but to the Creator it can be just one unbroken time period in which he begins the carrying out of some purposeful activity and brings it on to its successful conclusion, much as a man begins a task in the morning and concludes it by the day’s end.\n\nJehovah is the Originator of our universe in which time, space, motion, mass, and energy have all been proved to be inescapably interrelated. He controls them all according to his purpose, and in dealing with his creatures on earth he makes definite time appointments for his own actions toward them, right down to the “day and hour.” (Mt 24:36; Ga 4:4) He keeps such appointments with the utmost punctuality.\n\nIn the first century, there were some who apparently felt that God should have fulfilled his promises sooner. They had become so impatient that they even considered God to be slow or late. On this account, the apostle Peter had to remind them that God’s view of time is quite different from ours. \n According to his way of figuring time, an 80-year-old person has lived only about two hours, and all of mankind’s history has lasted only about six days. When we look at things from this perspective, it becomes easier for us to understand God’s way of dealing with us.\n\nUnlike humans, God does not feel pressured to do things as if time were running out for him. As the “King of eternity,” he has a marvelous overview and can determine when in the stream of time his actions will do the most good for all involved.

Sure, it's okay. At least you're going. I wish my church had evening services, because the regular weekly service is held at a really inconvenient time for me. My spouse is Catholic and attends Saturday night Mass, and I'm jealous. I wish we had more nighttime services like that.

I don't think it matters really, cause as per the philosophy of my religion, the end is when your soul merges with the lord. Heaven is just a place where you spend some time till your good deeds and bad deeds are evened out before being reborn as any creature, maybe even human. so maybe Mother Theresa would spend a longer time than the truck driver, if she has done more of what she perceived (and not the world) as good.\nst
