For those interested, Divinum Officium has the full breviary hours for those interested in the Traditional 1962 Breviary. I myself prefer the Monastic Benedictine Breviary, the only Western breviary that has preserved the same psalm arrangement since the 400’s, arranged by St. Benedict of Nursia himself.
So happy it’s still available in missals and online. A great comfort even if I only pray it when I can.
I use the current Liturgy of the Hours, as given to us by the Holy Mother Church in the time I live in.
I'm happy to follow that authority 🙂
Yeah, great to pray the Divine Office from Divinum Officium
@@AussieCatholic if you want to use a breviary invented in 1969, that’s fine. The older breviary from the 4th century was used by countless saints across 1.5 millennia. Ancient traditions such as psalms 148-150 in Lauds are so old that they unite us to our brethren in the Eastern churches too. Not to mention, the older breviary contains the tradition of praying the entire psalter weekly. More prayer equals more grace.
I own both a Monastic Latin-English Diurnal and a 1962 Roman Latin-French Diurnal, and I’m honestly pretty torn on which one I should use over the course of my week. I love both Offices and their quirks, but choosing which one to stick to is honestly a hard decision. I love praying the Laudate Psalms, 148-50, in the Monastic Office, which is a custom that goes back to even the time of Christ or so I’ve heard, along with the Gradual Psalms throughout the day, but I also love praying the Nunc Dimittis and Psalm 21 on Friday in the Roman Office. My own state of life as a college student with only 24 hours in the day doesn’t help either, haha.
Retuning Catholic here. Thank you for this information. Feeling a bit overwhelmed. Every time I think I’ve got my prayer regimen figured out, I come across something like this. I have never heard of the liturgy of the hours.
Yep, not in our catechism and I went all the way through HS!
I started Night Prayer this year with All Saints Day and so far so good. I don't know that i want to replace my other devotions yet. My Bible reading time. Meditation time. And i don't have time for all of them. I did by Shorter Christian Prayer, which had morning and evening in addition to the Night Prayer I'm doing.
Sing the Hours CZcams channel does the liturgy of the hours!
I def think I will use his videos to get me to learn how to do it properly and then be able to do it myself with the books after that myself
The 7 hours of prayer you described is structured how people eat, so if everyone can remember to say the little prayer upon before:
Breakfast
AM Snack
Lunch
PM Snack
Dinner
Bedtime Snack
(and before bed) -- tada, no problem!
Once people get in the habit of praying before they toss food in their mouths, they can learn to remember to bring that little booklet with them so they know which prayers to pray. If one's life is at home, keep the little book on the kitchen table, or pack it in your lunchbox if on the go! We can do this! 🤗
This helps me go back to traditional practices even what Jesus practiced as a Jew! Baby steps to stay Catholic or return to the Faith of the Fathers! Not to be prideful or rigid. Just my choice if I prefer earliest, oldest, closest to Jesus' time. Not quite saying bestest for everyone! 🤗 🙏
Sing The Hours is my go-to CZcams channel for this purpose.
Thank you. Just found it and it is the best.
When I started last year started dedicating myself to learning Catholicism and immersing myself in it, I started praying by picking out a few Psalms to pray nightly. This was before I came across the Divine Office. I promised myself that if I stayed true to my prayer commitment for a year that I would treat myself to the 4 volume set. I found myself switching between the Christian Prayer book and the Universalis app to keep up with my prayers - depending on what was going on in our life. In the last month I added all prayers, except the Office, which I plan to add at some point. It is now coming up to a year, and I kept my with my commitment. Bought my 4 volume set and looking forward to them arriving soon!
About the Universalis app, I absolutely love it! You can set reminders for all prayers. It has everything you need. You also have the option to buy a code which allows you to download the app on to any device with no limits on how many devices (I don't think). It's a very simple and basic app with no extras.
One tip I would like to share ... for those having a problem with distractions while you pray ... turn your phone on "do not disturb". This turns off all notifications which will show up again when you turn it back on. I was getting annoyed whenever a message or notification showed up while I was praying, which was a huge distraction. Since doing this, I feel more focused and fully with Christ duuring prayers.
I absolutely love this prayer. I have been doing it for the past year and it has been quite fruitful.
Nice to see Word on Fire is creating a monthly Liturgy of the Hours book for laity!
I like the divine office audio app…I get to hear the beautiful singing
Have you guys ever considered bringing Anthony Esolen on your show to discuss Catholic education? He would be a great guest to speak on that topic!
I picked up Christian Prayer a week ago, been doing at least once a day and loving it. I look forward to those prayer times now. Took a bit to get use to flipping but its worth it.
Thank you, Your Reverence and gentlemen! The Hours are beautiful even if I cannot keep all canonical hours. Even just chanting the Canticles before bed is a great comfort.
As to daily prayer, please do a video on the Angelus since it’s almost Annunciation!
I Love this Show!!!!❤️🙏🏻✝️
WHY can I not recall this? 🤔 ...Ooooh, its like a daily devotional?! 😅 My grandmother did that everyday. She had books laying around everywhere. I pray all day long...but I guess I should start doing that. Thank you! 🤗
Ooo this was a good episode!!!
Awesome discussion!
Love this, friends!
Looking forward to your show from London UK.
I have got to give the Divine Office app a HUGE SHOUT OUT. It’s absolutely awesome in more ways than one but for me especially because of it’s audio feature. I pray the morning pray riding to work on my road bike daily ⭐️❤️💐👍🏾🙏🏾🤗🇬🇧
Love the content of this episode. I also love Padre’s jacket.. Thank and bless all of you!!!
I went ahead and downloaded the apps. Can’t wait to give it a shot… 👍
Great way to finish my day with you guys. I’m now going to listen
to my Hallow app. Prayers thank you
Going to be joining from Scotland, UK. Love the show ❤🏴
Hi my your UK neighbour London
@@asvananda5328 Hi there from Paisley✋🏴
You always make me laugh with your creativity, the way you set up Dellacrosse was hilarious. You're awesome, Bros. Great content, as always. May God keep blessing your work.
I took my Christmas tree down at Candlemass. I still miss it! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the info regarding the Litergy of the hours. I've been thinking about it lately. Great show boys! Love you guys! 🥰
Thank you this video. I missed my liturgy of the hours prayer a couple of a month because of my busy schedule. Thank for reminding me to pray again. Using my liturgy of the hours books. God bless all of you.
I pray using the divine office app. Great stuff.
Thanks for doing a show on LOH 👍🏻
Praised be Jesus; Now and Forever.
❤️❤️❤️
Listening from Auckland, New Zealand
This was an excellent show. I have been praying the Liturgy of the Hours (Daughters Of St Paul publication) and just purchased the 4 Volume set for my Birthday. I absolutely am loving it. For 29 years, I did MP EP NP) Last year iI added OOR and found it beneficial as I wanted to read the Bible more. Your show today was very inspiring. I will do my best to begin praying the three DT prayers as well. Thanks for the encouragement and such a good catechism lesson.
Structure is Positive and Prayer is a Necessity. ✝️💯💜🕯🙏🏽
Great Show! Aloha from Hawaii!
I’m very frugal. $20 for a shirt? Nope. Too expensive. Which brand of tortillas to buy? The ones on sale, of course! $150 for a four set volume of Liturgy of the Hours? YES!! Bought it without hesitation. And never regretted it. Yep, I think God approves of the Divine Office. And he wants us to have a hardy copy so our phones don’t distract us.😉😇🙏🏼
I agree with the hard copy. I leave my phone in a different room in silent 🔕
I do use my phone to play some Gregorian chants when I pray the rosary. It helps my mind get right. I believe the chants are pleasing to the Trinity and the Blessed Mother. Also being in a language I don't understand the words don't distract me when meditating on the mysteries. Have great day peace be with you
@@Defender_of_Faith ditto to everything you said on the Gregorian chant! I do that too!
@The Catholic Talk Show can you tell me if exodus 90 is suitable for 18year olds?
If it is I will show my son it but if it isn’t I don’t what to tell him about it.
He has recently realised the importance of the Rosary himself.
while I constantly encourage him to pray the Rosary and to ask for Saints and Our Lady to intercede - for a couple of years now he has always asked St. Padre Pio to intercede for him
(he always hears me praying the rosary at least once a day/I try when I can to say the rosary two/three times a day - he knows that he can always come join me in saying the rosary or just ask me and I will say it with him)
I never want to force him to pray it daily as I want him to keep his faith and grow his prayer life as he gains the graces - as we live in a highly secular area of Scotland with very few Catholics around and I know that as a teenage sue to living in this area I really struggled with my faith especially when being forced to do things due to the lack of a Catholic community, so I don’t want his faith shaken like I had mine.
Although I have been very lucky with him, he hasn’t had to experience the horrific bullying and down right cruelty I experienced growing up in the 80’s/90’s (due to being Irish and catholic), that he told me that he would actually pray the rosary sometimes while on breaks at school when he was really struggling and for several years now he has been questioning whether he is being called to the Priesthood in some form - so I only want to keep encouraging him in his journey with Christ rather than force it.
The Divine Office is prayed by many in the Ordinariate, and it includes Prime!
Probably helps that it's all in one volume, even if it is a little bit heavy.
Check out the CZcams channel ‘Sing the Hours’. He sings Lauds and Vespers and it is amazingly meditative.
There are some of us who pray the pre 1962 Office. I try to combine with the Little Office. There is also the Anglican Breviary which is based on the Pre 62 Roman office.
Thanks
Please, please teach all lay people to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. Also the Catechism and the Bible. We all need these to be true Catholics.
I bought the diurnale romanum from the fssp and I pray prime every morning.
Take it easy
3:30 🕞 perfect right after
Divine Mercy at 3pm 👍🏼✝️
Looking forward to hearing and seeing you all today! Blessings
I occasionally attend TLM at a nearby parish (not mine) that also offers LOH. I'm thinking of going to that, too.
Thank you so much - I bought a copy of the Liturgy of the Hours back in 1982ish and never really understood it - you caused me to find it and I will study it in greater detail this evening
The book "The Divine Office for Dodos" will teach you how to pray it.
The Month of June ,devoted to the Sacred Heart
😇😇😇AMEN!💖💖💖
St. Meinrad Archabbey streams Vespers daily on Twitter, but they use the Benedictine Breviary so the order of Psalms is very different than the secular LOTH.
As a follow up- check out the CZcams channel Singing the Hours. Twice a day it’s updated with lauds and vespers and they are chanted and sang!
❤️
Michael Voris prayed everyday with his apostolate ChurchMilitant the Morning prayer and the Evening Prayer using the book Christian Prayer
That worked out well for him.
I have been praying the liturgy of the hours for about a week now. I was insoles to do so after hearing about it in the cathecism in a year and your show on the same exact day.
I'm I right in understanding I can't consecrate my day as I'm not baptised?
That was very interesting. Where do you get these apps and books? You said you’d post them but I don’t see where ? Thank you
Amazon or a Catholic online shop or a Shrine with a gift shop and the App icon on your smart phone.
You guys are insane! Still, I learned a lot!
Hi David, question when does the first hour start, would be on the time of Rome and how are the different Pslams selcted for each day. I was saudia Arabi 1991 gulf war and saw how evrything would shut down to pray, I will start slow with office reading it my day! Thanks
Be careful before you order the books, if you don't have them already. The USSCB liturgy committee and ICEL are working on a (Much!) better translation that will be ready in a few years. I would use the online resources for now if you don't want to buy it now and then again later.
While they are - there is no idea when it will be ready. They started saying this in 2019 when I started with the LOTH and the earliest now is 2025. - Bu you are right there are great online resources out there.
@@MichielvanWessem The project is nearly complete in its parts. The psalms are available now and can be used in all liturgical contexts, and the Latin hymns will be released this year for immediate use. The interrim documents have mainly followed the current NABRE and Lectionary, but with deference to the 2011 Missal translation, as the templates for translating everything else. The LOTH part still unfinished is basically the antiphons being updated to match the new psalter, which probably will not take that long since they usually come from the psalter directly.
The remaining delay is due to the need for the NT to be retranslated from the 1986 edition, a project that had already been ongoing. So I think what we will see around 2023-2024 is that this effort result in a new combination of Lectionary, official Bible translation for liturgy and study, and Liturgy of the Hours, all intended to correspond with the 2011 missal translation and give us a unified biblical and liturgical language.
It'll be well worth the wait, because the texts already released are so much more accurate in communicating the substance of the Latin texts and the authentic call to holiness as opposed to a worship of sensationalism -- it baffles me how they ever got the 1970s translations approved in the first place, because some of the choices that were made have no literal basis whatsoever, least of all the hymn selections. But hopefully this grand effort of authentic renewal will be ready at the bishops meetings in 2023 or 2024 to send it to print in 2025.
@@MrColinwith1L That's wonderful news! I didn't realise they were that close!
Wondering if there's anything similar to Fiat Expeditions in Canada, if anyone knows?
Fr. What cover do you use on the current volume you have?
Hello ,
I was wondering can I pray the psalms 7 times a day ? For I do the rosary ..the angelus …and divine mercy chaplet.
Or should I give up all thee above, and just do the divine office?
It’s scary, most of us never heard or told
I was told that the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary can be prayed in place of the Divine Office. Is this correct?
So can I pray the psalms 7 times a day ? I already doing the Angelus every day …rosary ….divine mercy ….
Or should I give up all of the above and just do the divine office?
Are the daily readings/prayers the same every year? For example, is the content in the Christian Prayer book for March 22, 2022 going to be the same for next March 22, 2023?
Yes, rinse and repeat throughout the 4 volume (or whatever book you use) liturgical year.
No. It changes according to when Lent starts and Easter is.
What time do you guys normally do night prayer?
Where are the links that you said you would put in the description?
Do you sing the Hymn during your prayers?
Does Hallow have the liturgy of the hours?
i believe so! :)
Fr -do you have any prayer advice for adultery. My good husband for 17 years is in affair for 18months moved out and walked away from God. Greatest shock imaginable
I am a Marian consecrate I do all rosaries daily, divine mercy, novenas, adoration weekly and 3-4 masses a week. I am praying for my husbands soul and return to God and the Catholic faith and our marriage restoration, any additional prayer advice or guidance you can share? Thanks to all of you for your shows very informative.
Raising prayer for your husband's healing. In Jesus name he will be back to the lord. 🙏
Lord, have mercy.
Gentlemen, please forgive my confusion. To clear it up, I hope this question can be addressed. In the 4 volume version on Saturday Night Prayer for Lent/Eastertide, we begin with Psalm 4. The Antiphon is properly printed before & after the psalm. However, during the Easter season, the Antiphon is "Alleluia"; but, it's not printed after the psalm. In my book, it's page 1625. It's printed after the second Psalm. So, during the Easter season, does one say the triple Alleluia between these psalms or, wait until after the second Psalm? Thanks for your leadership. Pax
What does he mean when he says when you light the evening lamp??
At sunset, when you’d light the lamp before electricity
@@CatholicTalkShow oh I see. Sorry I thought it was somthing some catholics do. Thanks, your show has had a huge impact on my life.
Love you guys are asome thanks god for pooping in my phone new patriot amen
Please I have a question, why did Jesus make the statement “my God my God why have you forsaken me”. Please I need answers
We read in 1 John 4:14: And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
When Jesus spoke the words that you mentioned, he was upon the cross in great suffering as we read in 1 Peter 2:24, Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree...
This was to fulfill the prophesies in Isaiah 53 (as well as others). There, we read, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
After his death, he was buried and rose on the third day, according to the scriptures (see 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). He is the risen Christ in heaven today with God the Father.
Jesus offers the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all who believe on him ( see Romans 6:23, Colossians 1:14, Acts 16:30-31).
Put your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, trusting that his death, burial, and resurrection paid for your sins in full.
He was praying Psalm 22 on the cross as a way to point out that He was fulfilling the Messianic prophecy of that Psalm.
But can it compete with Holy Mass?
It is the ever happening continuation of the Mass!
OMG I'm just a man. I'm not a priest! Praying is not my full time job. I got all I can do to say the Rosary every day.
You only have 20-30 minutes a day for God saying the rosary?
@@tsr3779 yes, that's it. The rest of the time I'm trying to DO right for God. I don't just sit there and pray about it.
Ok, but wat sort of, prayers, and watt time of the day. ❓❓❓ tkank you .
This sounds complicated. What books do i need and where can i get instructions in writing?
I recommend the full four-volume "Liturgy of the Hours" and the book "The Divine Office for Dodos".
@@tryingnottobeasmartass757 i just didn't listen well. Thank you.
Vatican 2’s Sacrosanctum Concilium removed Prime from the Breviary (renamed Liturgy Of The Hours )
Liturgy Of The Hours is a product of Vatican 2 (the document Sacrosanctum Concilium )
MARY'S APPEAL
For the Immaculate Heart Triumph
"Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death."
BRIEF BENEFITS - Green Scapular compared to the other Sacramentals
- No enrollment needed just a simple blessing from a priest for any soul to benefit
- One can give away to anyone in and outside the faith... even hidden from the individual and also please say the prayer.
- Help a souls eternity especially those who are obstinate to keep it hopeful for everyone
- Great blessing if worn in regards to wearing it but not a prerequisite to obtaining grace
- When you feel your voice is not heard or one worries in regards to their eternity... heaven gives us hope for them in this sacramental
- additional benefit: add Both Style Miraculous Medals for the purpose to give strength and signal graces to help souls when worn.
Most important prayer of the church...behind the holy sacifice of the mass, of course
Yes, of course, but the Divine Office is the continuation of the Mass!
@@CatholicTalkShow Please explain. In what way? 💐
@@thomism1016 - CCC 1178 The Liturgy of the Hours, which is like an extension of the Eucharistic celebration, does not exclude but rather in a complementary way calls forth the various devotions of the People of God, especially adoration and worship of the Blessed Sacramen
@@CatholicTalkShow Thank you and may the good Lord richly bless you all 💐❤️🙏🏾⭐️
I have nothing against the "Liturgy of the Minutes" (as our pastor calls it). But the American edition is terrible. Language and trasnlation is just horrible. You dont get the entire psalter. Many of the psalms are redacted to get rid of manly verses. The Catholic Book Publishing version is cheap and low quality for a high price. Art is so bad it borders on a sin. I recommend to get the UK version by Harper-Collins. It three volume, better translation, higher quality, cheaper. I also recommend the Anglican Ordinariate Breviary. Its essentially the Book of Common Prayer, classical/beautiful English, and you pray the entire psalter in 30 days in Morning and Evening+Night Prayer. No patristic readings but almost the entire Bible read liturgically.
Dear Jesus I'm sorry for sins and Joe biden as will help lose weight also help me get a job 🙏 ✝️ 🛐
