Liturgy Of The Hours

[cmotherofpirl]

[Guest Kayla]

I pray Morning and Evening prayer, sometimes night prayer. I think I like Morning Prayer the best, mostly because of the Invitiatory Psalm and I love the Canticle of Zacharia (or however you spell it lol).

I've seen the greatest benefit from the Office of Readings. I wasn't "getting" the psalms, so I've decided to focus on them. Instead of praying the hours, I've been praying the psalms alone. Found two books that list the cycle - all 150 in one week - one from the 30s or 40s; another more recent with a St. Joseph's translation

+J.M.J.+
so i have a hard time prayer LOTH at all on the weekends, probably because there is not as much routine at home as there is at work.

[hecklingsoul]

I say the Evening prayers every night but Sunday.

I just asked this in VS, but thought I'd ask here too: Does anyone know, are there any partial or plenary indulgences that can be gained by praying the Divine Office (with the other necessary conditions for the plenary indulgence)?

I believe there was a plenary indulgence for the Year of the Eucharist, but I'm not sure what there are now. Thanks!

I pray morning and evening hours and the office of readings for the saints every day. I read the daytime hours every other week day when I work at home and on the weekends.
I so cuddle with my weeble and wub the psalms and have gotten so familiar with them.

I hope they don't change too much with a new issue because I just bought mine last summer and I paid a lot for a new set bound in leather. They are so new. Except for the one I spilled chocolate milk on. A couple pages are forever stuck together.

I cuddle with my weeble and wub the Liturgy.

Okay, what happened to the last sentence that I typed? I know I have jet lag but, I am sure I did not type that.
Is that legal to add tripey stuff to someone's post?

[Lil Red]

dust (the ultra-handsome) has changed certain words in the philter.

[Deb]

hmmm, any others I should know about?

[Lil Red]

Same here! Can't wait!

i cuddle with my weeble and wub Night Prayer the most - "Protect us Lord, as we stay awake, watch over us as we sleep, that awake, we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in His peace." - That's my favorite. Oh, and finishing the hour with the Ultima is an awesome way to end the day.

[fides quarens intellectum]

keep forgetting about the l o v e fiddler.

I no longer pray it, but when I did, I was a fan of Compline.

[Tink]

Compline is the bessssssssst.



I've been trying to pray it more lately. There's an awesome app that is FREE right now that has all the prayers for each day!

I think I'm gonna try doing Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline when I can. I already do Compline before bed every night, but I feel like adding prayer to my breaks between classes will help me focus my day on Him.

[aalpha1989]

my favorite depends on the day, psalms, and my mood, but compline ranks pretty high with the marian verses afterwards and the examination of conscience.

[Marie-Therese]

I pray Lauds, Vespers, Compline, and the OOR as Vigils. I love them all for different reasons, but Compline has always been just the best way to end a day.

I currently am using the contemporary US LOTH, but I want to get the Baronius version when it is finished (hopefully soon). I also use my Little Office of the BVM on occasion, especially if I have occasion to pray one of the minor hours, and I kind of prefer the composition, layout and translation of the traditional breviary.

[Slappo]

compline is my favorite

My household brothers and I at Franciscan used to chant it and it was amazing... ahhhh chant

I really want baronius press to come out though, soon!

[TeresaBenedicta]

I usually pray Morning, Evening, and Night prayer. Sometimes I'll read the Office without praying the psalms. And once in a great once in a while I'll also do one of the day time prayers if I'm in the chapel in the middle of the day.

I think my favorite is Morning Prayer, if only because I find it to be a wonderful way to start off the day.
