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. Try using a prayer card instead of a ribbon!

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. I have suggested they choose hymns from YouTube and provide links on their website. A staffer though it was a good idea; nothing has happened.

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 their favorite hymns for the celebration of the Hours.

THE FOUR WEEK PSALTER 

The psalms were the prayers of Jesus and his disciples. Under the influence of monasticism, praying the whole 150 psalms each week became the norm in both Eastern and Western Christianity.

Since Vatican II, the Roman Rite Liturgy of the Hours has spread the Book of Psalms over four weeks rather than one. The practice of praying the psalms in order has been abandoned in favor of psalms specifically selected for Morning and Evening Prayer. 

 A major goal of this website is greater familiarity
 with the Four Week Psalter and its psalms

As noted in the General Instruction, there is an ancient tradition of personal meditation and prayer at the end of each psalm. There are many videos on the internet with psalms sung in a variety of ways, using different languages and translations, and drawing from different musical and spiritual traditions. Some presentations have beautiful slides or videos that can  enhance and interpret the psalm.

VIDEOS FOR TODAY'S PSALMS

The video selections below are intended as a stimulus to personal prayer and meditation in the period after the group have recited the psalm in the first option, or the cantor has sung the psalm in the second option, or while looking at the written psalm in the third option.

* PSALM 24 *

The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, the world and all who live in it.

PSALM 23:1-10
Dómini est terra et plenitúdo eius,*   orbis terrárum et qui hábitant in eo

PSALM 24 

Lift Up Your Heads, O You Gates

This psalm by the Sons of Korah covers all the verses but in a different translation/


CANTICLE TOBIT 13

Blessed be God who lives forever, whose kingdom is eternal

TOBIT 13:2-8
Benedíctus Deus vivens in ævum,† et regnum illíus,

PSALM 33

Rejoice in the Lord

Karl Kolhase has done all 150 psalms. Some of the earliest are simply videos of him singing, playing the guitar and talking about his faith. His better videos have a simple background, and the text. He refers to his work as a musical adaptation, however he keeps close to the text (sometimes with an interesting translation) often using some verses as a refrain.            

Psalm videos were selected to provide as much variety as possible while maintaining substantial ritual consistency by using the same authors or similar musical pieces during the four weeks.  Preference was given to videos that covered most of the psalm. No attempt has been made to judge accuracy of translations. Those celebrating have already experienced the official text.
