Diurnal offices

In Anglican and Methodist Christianity, the Diurnal offices (Ecclesiastical Latin: horæ diurnæ) are the canonical hours prayed during the daytime. These offices include Terce, Sext, and None. The diurnal offices stand in contrast to the Major Hours, which include Matins (Morning Prayer), Lauds and Vespers, as well as the Nighttime Hours, which include Compline and Vigil.
