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 community with those who produced the sounds and images, and the community of those who celebrate at different 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 each illustrated by a concrete option. 

Becoming skillful at 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 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 the three Options has a beginning hymn. These are noted below as an aid to choosing among options.  With a little practice, 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 67
Hymn: "According to Thy Gracious Word"
by James Montgomery
 *******************************************************

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. If English is preferred, either pause the Latin after a verse to pray the English, or mute the Latin and pray the English. 


Hymn: "Attende Domine"
English Gospel Canticle & Lord's Prayer
*******************************************************

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.

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.

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
