[RemnantRules]

Blessed Be God!!!

I've had mine for almost a year and half now and I love it. Though I don't do it as often as I like I'm trying to get into a better habit of it. Let me know about yall.


God Bless

Don't have one, but would like to... Can you just pick one up at the local Catholic bookstore? I was probably gonna stop by there anyways today after work... maybe I'll check it out. It would definitely be a great habit to get into.

[RemnantRules]

yea they're available there. You can get the one volume (christian prayer book) for I think around 35-40$. Or get the 4 volume set which is what the religous use and that's around 30 bucks a pop and there are four of them

I try to pray the [i]Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary[/i] in the morning and at night. I like it a lot, but I would eventually like to get either the book of [i]Christian Prayer [/i]or the [i]Liturgy of the Hours[/i] eventually.

[littleflower+JMJ]

I pray the vespers and at noon with the nuns here by my school. They provide the book for us : I love it they chant the prayers and everything

[sweetpea316]

Awesome. I'll definitely check it out. I was going to go and check out the price on the CCC, but maybe I'll splurge and get them both.

i've got it....i don't pray it as much as i should. when i was at school we would pray evening prayer every night right after mass.

i am most consistant with night prayer

Dust collecting somewhere...

[the_rev]

I try to pray Lauds, Vespers and Compline daily or on at least on major feast days.

I was given a Christian Prayer book by the priest who just recently got transfered away from our parish. I don't quite know how to use it, but one of these days I'm going to figure it out.

[RemnantRules]

awww jabber...you def. need to learn it. If you like to I could teach ya. It's awesome and helps you learn the psalms and canticles within the bible.

I personally love Friday night prayer. Psalm 88 baby! Best song remnant has written. lol.

[Jabberwocky]

I'd love to learn it. Advice for going about the matter? Resources, etc?
Thanks!

[RemnantRules]

advice is...you start of by crossing your safe and saying "God come to my assistance." the response is "Lord make haste to help me."
then "Glory to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit."
response is a little different then what you think, "As it was in the beginning, is now, and WILL BE FOREVER, amen."
Then say the antiphon
then read the psalm. When done with the psalm go back to the anitphon.

I would say start with night prayer. It's the shortest, simpilest, and most straight forward of the hours.
I was looking at websites to use and i found this one [url="http://chastitysf.guidetopsychology.com/loh.htm"]http://chastitysf.guidetopsychology.com/loh.htm[/url]

I would LOVE to get it (itsonmyamazondotcomwishlisthinthint).

But, I actually use "In Conversation with God" by Francis Fernandez for my daily meditations. It is a multi volume set, covering the liturgical year. I love it.

I have the four volume LOTH. The Office of Readings is my favorite. I love the writings they give from Saints.

[benedictaj]

I have only got the book with Lauds, Vespers and Compline. Its all in one book. I love it! And I pray it when I can.


I love the Office of Readings as well, but I can only pray it online. - at the moment!

[sweetpea316]

So I've got my copy now... I just need to figure out how exactly to use it, lol. Let's see how this goes...

[Cam42]

I have been praying the Divine office for about 15 years now. It is the most complete prayer, outside of the Sacraments, that I have found.
