VIRTUAL RESOURCES

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

The daily posts for Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer include:

Both a common recitation and a completely sung YouTube site giving the whole text.
Two additional sung YouTube alternatives for the beginning Hymn.
Sung YouTube alternatives for each of two psalms of each Hour.
Sung YouTube versions of both the Gospel Canticle and Lord's Prayer

Breviaries which provide the liturgical texts for the Hours usually contain multiple ribbons that are necessary to switch between sections of the breviary. Word on Fire provides a monthly booklet containing the texts for Morning and Evening Prayer. It reads straight through just like a book, except for the Hymns which are in the back of the book. Four hymn choices for each post here mean that one never has to flip to the back of their booklet.

FULL ROMAN RITE SERVICES

Three Models (Options) for Morning Prayer (Lauds):

Praying with Christ Every Day Everywhere will be greatly helped by a variety of models each illustrated here by a particular 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 below emphasizes recitation in common. 
The second model emphasizes the sung nature of the celebration. 
The third model below with its easy-to- read monthly booklet is very suitable for personal meditative prayer and study, including marking the text. Don't throw the booklets away!

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. Use as skill building in preparation for praying with others as a small group.  


Invitatory Psalm 95
Hymn: "Eternal Maker of the Light" 
Translation by Saint Cecilia's Abbey of "Aeterne Lucis Conditor"
 *******************************************************

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 text or mute the Latin and pray the English text. 


 Invitatory: Psalm 95
English Hymn: "Aeterne Lucis Conditor." 
Translated by Fr. Dylan Schrader.
Latin Gospel Canticle & Lord's Prayer
*******************************************************

PERSONAL MEDITATION MODEL

WORD ON FIRE OPTION

Bishop Barron'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.  Unfortunately, sometimes the choice of hymn has to be changed due to the lack of available videos.

HYMN SELECTED FROM MY PERSONAL FAVORITES

This fourth hymn option is strongly influenced by the blog author's liturgical music collection (first vinyl discs, then cassettes, finally CDs). For decades this musical collection has supported the celebration of the Hours.  Now with YouTube videos, anyone can start a blog like this to link to resources for the 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.
