25.) Canonical Hours- The Jews, Greeks and Romans divided the hours between sunrise and sunset into 12 parts. The Jews devoted certain of those intervals to prayer as described in the Old Testament. The Apostles continued the Old Testament Practice. They came to be called Canonical Hours. Originally there were 9 Canonical Hours. Since then, two have been combined and one abolished. Name 5 of the original 9 Canonical Hours.

I'm not sure where you're going with that one.

I am aware of 8 canonical hours: prime. lauds, terce, sext, none, vespers, compline, matins.

Prime was surpressed with the current General Instruction of the Liturgy of the Hours. Matins was changed from being strictly at midnight into being the Office of Readings, which can be accomplished at any time.

Ps 119:164 Seven times a day I praise thee for thy righteous ordinances.

Otherwise, it looks like a good test!
