PSALMS OF THE FEAST

===============================================================

FULL ROMAN RITE SERVICES

Three Models (Options) for Praying this Evening

The celebration of the Hours Every Day, Every Where will be greatly helped by a variety of models and options. Becoming skillful in understanding and adapting these models to both personal and communal prayer is a major goal of this website. 

Each of the three Options contains the full official text of Roman Rite for Morning Prayer.  Links to two websites are embedded here for convenience so that one does not have to go to their websites, then locate the desired posting. 

Embedded links bring the additional advantage of eliminating YouTube advertisements, and of being able to choose any of three hymns to begin the Hour regardless of which model is chosen.

RECITATION IN COMMON MODEL

DIVINE OFFICE.ORG OPTION

Excellent model of small (household size) community reciting the office with sung hymn at the beginning. Experience the Hours as community prayer even when praying alone and as skill building in preparation for praying with others as a small group.  



Hymn: "Lord of the Angels" 
Translation Saint Cecilia Abbey of "Angelis pacis"
 *******************************************************


COMPLETELY SUNG MODEL

SING THE HOURS OPTION

Excellent model of totally sung office mostly by one very talented young person. His father is an excellent translator of Latin Hymns. Although they use some Latin, there is always an English translation. They use very simple, mainly Gregorian chants. If you desire to sing along, try chanting every other verse while listening to each other verse by the cantor. This corresponds to the ancient practice of alternating between cantor and choir. 


 Hymn: "Ye Holy Angels Bright," Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
English Gospel Canticle, Pater Noster

PERSONAL MEDITATION MODEL

WORD ON FIRE OPTION

Bishop Baron's organization, Word on Fire, has begun producing a monthly booklet that contains Morning, Evening, and Night Prayer for each day. It reads straight through like a book except for the beginning hymns for each hour which are all in the back of the booklet.  Below is a close approximation to the hymn they have chosen. Often the video has more or different verses to the given tune. Sometimes the translation is slightly different. More rarely the tune, translation, or choice of hymn has been changed due to the lack of available videos.

===================================================

THE FOUR WEEK PSALTER 

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. 

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
