Three Models (Options) for Praying this Evening
Praying with Christ 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.
The Instruction for the Liturgy of the Hours promotes both recitation in common as well as singing the Hours.
The first model with its option below emphasizes recitation in common. the second model emphasizes the sung nature of the celebration. The third model with its easy-to- read monthly booklet is very suitable for personal meditative prayer and study, including marking the text.
Each of the three Options contains the full official text of Roman Rite for Evening 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 have the added advantage of eliminating YouTube advertisements.
Each of three Options has a beginning hymn. These are noted below to help you chose among options. You can begin with one option and its hymn then with a little dexterity switch to another option.
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: "Let Heaven Now Resound With Priase"Translation by Saint Cecilia's Abbey of "Exultet caelum laudibus" *******************************************************

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 only every other verse. Listen to the cantor for the remaining verses. This corresponds to the ancient practice of alternating between cantor and choir.

PERSONAL MEDITATION MODEL
WORD ON FIRE OPTION
Bishop Baron's organization 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. Sometimes the translation is different. Sometimes the tune. More rarely the 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.
