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 the Hours with the same sounds and images at various times and places.  

This website contains two posts per day. one for Morning Prayer and one for Evening Prayer. 

The post for each hour contains both a link (DivineOffice.org) with the complete text of the Hour recited by a small group, and a link (SingtheHours.org) with the complete sung text of the Hour, mostly by a single cantor.  By clinking on either of these two links you can celebrate the Hour without making any other choices.   YOU DO NOT NEED ANY OTHER BOOK OR BOOKLET or other virtual resources. 

Breviaries which provide the liturgical texts for the Hours have multiple ribbons to help 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. WHILE YOU CAN USE THEIR BOOKLET WITHOUT VIRTUAL RESOURCES, THIS WEBSITE HELPS YOU INTEGRATE VIRTUAL RESOURCES WITH THE BOOKLET.  

Each post also contains the following YouTube links: two additional alternatives for the beginning Hymn, an alternative for each psalm of the Hour, an alternative Gospel Canticle and alternative Lord's Prayer. Each of these sample alternatives has a link to a large selection of alternatives.

Becoming skillful at using these virtual resources 
for both personal and communal prayer is the major goal of this website.

FULL ROMAN RITE SERVICES

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

Praying with Christ Every Day Anywhere will be greatly helped by three models each illustrated here by a particular option. 

Becoming proficient at 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 text of the 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. 



INVITATORY: PSALM 100
Hymn: "The Dawn is Sprinkling in the East"
Translation by Edward Caswall of "Aurora iam spargit polum"
 *******************************************************

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. 



Hymn: "Aurora iam spargit polum." 
English Translation ICEL ©2023 p
English Gospel Canticle & LATIN 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. 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, or last year's has been used.

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.  

Spirit of God be for us joy, 

healing gift of love creating a new hear

SATURDAY OF 11TH WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME


 2 CHRONICLES 24:17-25

Though the Aramean force came with few men,
the LORD surrendered a very large force into their power,
because Judah had abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers.

  MATTHEW 6:24-34

Jesus said to his disciples:
"No one can serve two masters.
He will either hate one and love the other,
or be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink,
or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds in the sky;
they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns,
yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
