VIRTUAL RESOURCES

Virtual resources provide more than the dry bones of the liturgical text. They celebrate the Hours with sounds and images. Most of all they provide community, both the community of those who produced the sounds and images, and the community of those who celebrate at various times and places with the same sounds and images.

Three Models (Options) for Praying this Morning

Praying with Christ Every Day, Every Where will be greatly helped by a variety of models illustrated by a concrete option. 

Becoming skillful in understanding and adapting these models 
for 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 Morning Prayer.  
Each of three Options has a beginning hymn. These are noted below to help you chose among options.  With a little digital dexterity, one can begin with one option and its hymn, then 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.  


Invitatory Psalm 24
Hymn: O lavish Giver of the Light
Translation: Saint Cecilia Abbey of "Lucis largitor splendide" 
 *******************************************************

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. Their simple chants are occasionally interspersed with harmony. 





 English Hymn: Lucis largitor splendides"
English Gospel Canticle, Our Father

*******************************************************

PERSONAL MEDITATION MODEL

WORD ON FIRE OPTION

Bishop Baron's organization produces 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 and or the tune will be different.  Sometimes the choice of hymn has been changed due to the lack of available videos. 

 WORD ON FIRE BOOKLET: JANUARY 2023, pages 339-348

HYMN SELECTED FROM MY PERSONAL FAVORITES

This fourth hymn option reflects the blog author's music collection (first vinyl discs, then cassettes, then CDs) that have been used over the years to support celebration of the Hours.  

Psalm 95 (Come Worship The Lord)

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 of pad. The repetition of each psalm three time in three different formats provides a pleasing ritual experience. 

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

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

PSALM  42

 As a deer yearns for running waters, so my soul longs for you, O God.

PSALM 41:2-12
 Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum,
ita desíderat ánima mea ad te, Deus




ECCLESIASTICUS 36 

God of all, have mercy on us, take notice of us,
 and show us the light of your mercies.

SIRACH 36 1-7,13-16 
Miserére nostri, Deus ómnium, et réspice nos
 et osténde nobis lucem miseratiónum tuárum;



 PSALM 19

The heavens declare the glory of God, 
the work of his hands proclaims his faithfulness

PSALM 18 
Cæli enárrant glóriam Dei, 
et ópera mánuum eius annúntiat firmaméntum.






LECTIONARY OPTION


The book of Isaiah read at Lauds and Vespers
DRA Isaiah 10: 16-34 modernized

Therefore, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire. And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire and shall be devoured in one day.  And the glory of his forest, and of his beautiful hill, shall be consumed from the soul even to the flesh, and he shall run away through fear. And they that remain of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that they shall easily be numbered, and a child shall write them down.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that shall escape of the house of Jacob, shall lean no more upon him that strikes them: but they shall lean upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall be converted, the remnant, I say, of Jacob, to the mighty God. For if thy people, O Israel, shall be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be converted, the consumption abridged shall overflow with justice. For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, and an abridgment in the midst of all the land. 

Therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Sion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall strike thee with his rod, and he shall lift up his staff over thee in the way of Egypt. For yet a little and a very little while, and my indignation shall cease, and my wrath shall be upon their wickedness.

And the Lord of hosts shall raise up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Madian in the rock of Oreb, and his rod over the sea, and he shall lift it up in the way of Egypt. And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall putrify at the presence of the oil. He shall come into Aiath, he shall pass into Magron: at Machmas he shall lay up his carriages. They have passed in haste, Gaba is our lodging: Rama was astonished, Gabaath of Saul fled away. Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim, attend, O Laisa, poor Anathoth. Medemena is removed: ye inhabitants of Gabim, take courage.

It is yet day enough, to remain in Nobe: he shall shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Sion, the hill of Jerusalem. Behold the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror, and the tall of stature shall be cut down, and the lofty shall be humbled. And the thickets of the forest shall be cut down with iron, and Libanus with its high ones shall fall.
 

Short Responsory
℣. The glory of the Lord will shine on you, Jerusalem.
 Like the sun he will rise over you.
℟. His glory will appear in your midst

Responsorium breve
℣. . Super te, Ierúsalem, * Oriétur Dóminus. 
℟.  Et glória eius in te vidébitur..




Antiphon
Be converted and return to me, says the Lord,
 for the kingdom of heaven is near!

Dicit Dóminus: Pæniténtiam ágite: appropinquávit enim regnum cælórum, allelúia.


ANGLICAN MORNING PRAYER

DEANERY GARDEN CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL
