Three Main Options for Praying this Evening
FULL ROMAN RITE SERVICES
These all contain the full official text of Roman Rite for both Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer. Both virtual links are embedded here for convenience so that one does not have to use figure out which office to use on their websites. Both websites publish their offices early for the convenience of English speakers in New Zealand, Australia and the Philippines. On some days the correct office may be difficult to find.
There embedded links bring the additional advantages of eliminating YouTube advertisements, and also being able to choose any of three hymns to begin the Hour.
DIVINE OFFICE.ORG OPTION
Excellent model of small household size community reciting the office with sung hymn at the beginning.
Hymn: "Almighty God Whose Will Supreme"
Translation by W.J. Courthope of "Magnae Deus potentiae"
SING THE HOURS OPTION
Excellent model of totally sung office but mostly by one very talented young person. His father is an excellent translator of Latin Hymns. If you like the translations better than the Latin, you can e-mail them. They put much time and effort into creating this website. Therefore, be respectful of their love of Latin when you ask for less of it.
"O Gladsome Light," translation and arrangement copyright John Rose

===================================================
WALKING AND SINGING WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD
For health reasons, I walk forty to fifty minutes each morning and evening on a treadmill. The two above offices total about thirty-five minutes. Adding some of the additional options below brings the time to over forty-five minutes. The three options are interleaved by opening three tabs on the computer in front of the treadmill. With a little more dexterity, they could be interweaved on a cellphone or pad. The repetition of each psalm three time in three different formats provides a pleasing ritual experience.
