Morning Prayer for the Liturgy of the Hours. Make sure you viewed the previous video: Invitatory. This is Step 3 if you are performing the FULL LITURGY. This is considered Step 2 if you are skipping the Office of Readings (Matins)
Christopher McNicholas So glad you did because it is much appreciated! And I hope you’ll keep your channel going, we don’t have enough Catholic youtubers, but the very few we have are doing great things!
This is straight forward and great. What throws many off is during feasts, solemnities, and memorials when you have to take the antiphons from other areas with the morning prayer and evening prayer. Also I do believe that if it is a solemnity on lets say Tuesday, Night prayer is taken from Before Sunday or After Sunday and not the day that it falls on. This is what throws me off is during those special days when you have to go to other areas just to get the antiphons
this is an incredibly helpful series! I was just about to give up on praying the LOTH--and then saw your very straightforward videos. Thank you for being an instrument of God! :) I am praying them regularly now.
Thank you so much Christopher! This is the most in-depth instructional video I have seen on praying the Liturgy of the Hours. You have made it so easy to follow and understand. Great up close shots of the book so you know exactly where you need to be. I love that you made these videos for the laity....so many of us want to use and understand these books. Thank you!!! If you have a link, could you share where to get the Common Text cards? I would love to have a set for myself!
Thanks for the kind words!! I did see a listing on Amazon ... delayed until March 1 though: www.amazon.com/Liturgy-Hours-Inserts-Catholic-Publishing/dp/0899420494
thanks for the videos - you have a very good voice and pace - I still don't know when to say the glory be's ( how many of them are there in morning prayer) and when to say the antiphons and how the psalm pryaer fits in - I did learn many things but still have no idea how to pray the liturgy of the hours. Keep up with the vidoes, perhaps others aren't as dumb as me
Let's see if we can get you squared away.... There are three psalms.. (technically Morning is Psalm, Old Testament Canticle, Psalm. Evening is Psalm, Psalm, New Testament Canticle). The Antiphons for each of those psalms should be listed in your book as Ant., Ant. 2 and Ant.3 Okay.. here's your flow for morning: 1. God come to my assistance, Lord make haste to help me. WHILE CROSSING YOURSELF 2. Glory be to the Father.... 3. Hymn 4. Antiphon 1 5. Psalm 1 6. Glory be to the Father... 7. Antiphon 1 8. psalm prayer (if any) - SEE NOTE BELOW 9. pause 10. Antiphon 2 11. OT Canticle 12. Glory be to the Father.. 13. Antiphon 2 14. psalm prayer (if any) - SEE NOTE BELOW 15. pause 16. Antiphon 3 17. Last Psalm 18. Glory be to the Father.. 19. Antiphon 3 20. psalm prayer (if any) - SEE NOTE BELOW 21. pause 22. Reading 23. Responsory - there is a "Glory be to the Father..." printed there near the end.. go ahead and finish it. 24. Antiphon for Canticle of Zechariah 25. Recite the canticle for Zechariah - CROSS YOURSELF DURING IT 26. Glory be to the Father... 27. Repeat Antiphon for the Canticle of Zechariah 28. Intercessions - repeat the italicized phrase after each full sentence (at the periods) 29. The Our Father... 30. Read the Prayer. 31. Conclusion: May the Lord Bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life, Amen. CROSS YOURSELF DURING NOTE: There is some question of the Psalm Prayer's location in the sequence. Some argue that the prayer is not drawn directly from scripture, so should be "outside" the psalm/canticle and it's antiphon... the antiphon itself may not be drawn from scripture directly either, so there's that to consider. I prefer to do it outside the psalm "container", but you can make your own decision on that. In my list above, just move the Psalm prayer to BEFORE each closing antiphon. I hope this helps!!
Hello I am new to liturgy of hours four volume book set running into a issues during first week letters in read are saying canticle of Zechariah. I get throw off where do I find those in four volume book set I know where to find them in Christian prayer . not so much in four volume book again new to this and your channel been very helpful
If you bought the 4 volume set new, it should have come with cardstock inserts. You can get a full set from Catholic Book Publishing Corp: catholicbookpublishing.com/product/94 But also remember that the Ordinary in each volume is your friend! The ordinary does only call them "Gospel Canticle", so you need to know that the one in the Morning Prayer section is Zechariah (page 656 of Volume III) and the one in Evening Prayer is Mary(page 669 of same Volume III). We are of course in Volume III this late into January, 2020.
The Invitatory begins the prayer day no matter which you start with. Office of Readings and Morning Prayer are separate, so in your scenario, it is possible to begin with the invitatory, then Office of Readings and conclude. When you come back to Morning Prayer a bit later, you would begin with the opening prayer at the beginning.
@@cmcnicholas Glory Be said before the Office of Readings (providing I said the invititory already)? I plan on saying the office later in the day and not first thing. Depending.
