Greetings and Blessings......

As a "Benedictine Oblate" I totally agree with what was stated above:

"What is different about the priorities of this ministry is that it is not focused on getting the core accurate first.... the Psalmody. In each instance the Psalmody -- that's the Psalms etc..-- was a foundation upon which they then built."

May Our Lord, Jesus Christ, ever so guide you to continue to purify this wonderful ministry online....

God Bless! ChuckW_Obl.SB

Why "Book III" for Night Prayer?

Why is "Book III" used for Night Prayer instead of the correct "Book II?"
Book III begins the 1st of June.....
Thank you and God Bless Your Ministry!

I agree that more "reflective" hymns for Morning Prayer, Office of Readings and Evening and Night Prayers is a way to go....

Wednesday (22 APR 09) OOR: Responsory missing

Wednesday's "Office of Readings:" The Responsory (John 10:14; Ezekiel 34:11,13) was missing in the vocal presentation, between the First Reading (Book of Revelation, 2:12-29) and Second Reading (From a sermon by Saint Leo the Great, pope).
Also all the Psalm Antiphon's for after Easter "Alleluia" were missing...as it is in all the NIght Prayer for the Easter Season.
Thank you and Bless You for your wonderful Ministry!!

Greetings and Blessings, Maureen

Being that I am an Oblate of St. Benedict, the Benedictines have many resources on the internet that references how to pray the "Liturgy of the Hours."

Here is a website that you can download a nice instructional pamphlet:

I sincerely hope this helps you!

Greetings and Blessings....
My suggestion is that Office of Readings is more important then completing Daytime Prayer.
Thank You and God Bless Your Wonderful Ministry!

Easter Season Night Prayer "Antiphon" Missing & "Book II"

Ever since Easter Sunday, the Night Prayers have not reflected the "Antiphon" for Easter "Alleulia, Alleulia,Alleulia" But had reverted to the Lenten Season readings instead. And, "Book III" is shown as it still be "Book II" as we return to "Book III" the 1st of June. Please correct the Easter Night Prayer "Antiphon" for Easter "Alleulia, Alleulia,Alleulia." Thank you and God Bless Your Wonderful Ministry!!..Chuck, Oblate of St. Benedict
