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.  




Most of tonight's celebration is chanted by the small group
Hymn: "Creator of the Earth and Sky"
Translation by Charles Bigg of "Deus Creator omnium"
*******************************************************


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: "Great is Thy Faithfulness."
Magnificat and Lord's Prayer in English
*******************************************************


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

* PSALM 113 *

Praise, servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

PSALM 112:1-9
Laudáte, púeri Dómini,* laudáte nomen Dómini.




PSALM 116 B

Still I trusted, even when I said “I am greatly afflicted,”

PSALM 115:10-19
Crédidi, étiam cum locútus sum; * «Ego humiliátus sum nimis».


CANTICLE PHILIPPIANS 2

Jesus Christ, although he shared God’s nature,
  did not try to cling to his equality with God

PHILIPPIANS 2:6-11
Christus Iesus, cum in forma Dei esset,* 
  non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo,



LECTIONARY OPTION

The book of Isaiah read at Lauds and Vespers
DRA Isaiah 7: 17-25 modernized

Short Responsory
How great are your works, O Lord.
In wisdom you have created them all.


Responsorium breve
℣. Quam magnificáta sunt* Opera tua, Dómine..
℟.  Omnia in sapiéntia fecísti.




Antiphon
If any man comes to me without hating even his own life,
 he cannot be my disciple. 

Si quis venit ad me et non odit adhuc et ánimam suam,
 non potest esse meus discípulus.
