I really wish they would make a version of this that includes the 2 Divine Liturgies I am a catachumen and it would be extremely helpful to have all the services in one place
Hi I expored the eastern rite traditions today and came across this pearl of an office. I am amazaed at the beauty and richness of the eastern offices. It's much more prayerful than the western offices. Amazing. Please let me know how this book compares to the Anthologion? A recenty updated edition contains the full psalter. Does this one you present also contain the psalms or would I have to get a book of psalms in a separate volume
I wish someone would talk about the Ruthenian recension. I keep hearing about, but all these experts are yet to show me some concrete examples other than prayers said secretly by priests which does not effect me as I am a minor cleric.
Judging by the Psalm numbering, it's not Masoretic. Looks like Grail'63 with some alterations here and there (e.g. 'Blessed is the man...' in Psalm 1, not 'Happy the man...'). Could you please tell me which Psalter translation this 'Casoslov' uses?
The Časoslov uses a modified version of the 1963 Grail Psalter. The changes are done in order to bring the numbering and translation more in line with the Septuagint.
When do people get to sleep if they're doing matins, 1st hour, 3rd hour, 6th hour, 9th hour, compline, vespers, and midnight service? I would think you could keep this schedule up for maybe a few days, a week at the most, and then you'd collapse from exhaustion.
I’m wondering the same thing, I would think that the only place at which all these prayers are performed daily would be monasteries, but how would the monks get sufficient sleep?
