Psalm 62 & 149 (as well as the canticle) are week 1 sunday prayers. They’re also used for morning prayer on feast days, hence why they’re on the card. Love the videos, long time watcher! I’ve only recently started praying the divine office and have picked up these books
I received a copy of Vol.3 today. Very impressed with it! And no infernal art 👍🙂. It's a more do-able Office - for me - than the Monastic. I'll still be praying Prime though. Might get the other 2 volumes. Thanks! God bless you.
Excellent video. I personally prefer using the Anglican Office Book and Anglican Breviary. However, I do enjoy the Office of Readings for the Liturgy of the Hours. The Collins 3 Volume Set looks like a winner compared to the 4 volume set. Unfortunately, my big purchase this year was the 4 volume set. The return window is past. Perhaps next year ... Some may consider it odd. However, I personally enjoy going through the Anglican Breviary readings, sermon and hagiography after Morning Prayer, and then going through the Office of Readings before Compline / Night Prayer. Its probably because I used Particular Baptist Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning and Evening sermonettes from the middle 1980s to the late 1990s. The days I prefer to read Western and Eastern Catholic saints, including Orthodox writings used by the Byzantine Ruthenian and Melkite Catholic Churches. But, I still enjoy sermons and lives of the saints at both ends of the day. I really enjoy your videos.
I live in England and have used the divine office 3 volume set most of my life at the tender age of 36 even when I decerned for priesthood at one time. I have since joined the Anglican Church and i have found the ideal prayer book. The divine worship:daily office which is wonderful. I think it would be a real treat if catholic truth society created a liturgy of the hours for the Roman church, as they did the missal in England
I have been using the 1962 Book of Common Prayer from Canada. Surprised that the Sunday lectionary for Anglican service is 90%+ the same as the 1962 Roman Missal. Both in readings and liturgical calandar
I would agree! The one thing is, however, the calendar does not line up with Ordinary time as it has the Trinity tide calendar. Just a minute detail to consider
When not praying from the monastic diurnal, the Collin’s prayer book is what I use. I think the antiphons and intercessions are more rich and less watery or flat compared to the 4 volume LOTH.
You were right, the yellow card has the psalm and canticle for Sunday week one, to be used on feasts and solemnities, to save you flipping to week I of the psalter for those psalms. The Latin LOTH has similar cards. The other one has regularly used texts like the invitatories, benedictus and magnificat...
Although I do not pray the Liturgy of the Hours ("...of the Minutes" as our pastor calls it😂) I do think the Harper-Collins Divine Office edition used in England, Wales, etc... is infinitely superior to the American edition by Catholic Book Publishing. First, the HC edition looks and feels like a Breviary. CBP quality is garbage. Cheap, flimsy, overpriced, and childish. It was composed in the 1970s and stayed there. Artwork screams felt-banners and bell-bottoms. Thats what you get when one company gets the exclusive market for the required prayer of the Church in USA. The English ALWAYS do it better than the USA in quality and layout in virtually everything. Anyway, I used this series because it was better. Period. My spiritual director years ago (via the bishop) said I could fulfill my obligation with this series when in private. Public/community when I was a third order meetings I used the CBP on my phone. I hope with the upcoming American revision of the LotH - (1) overall better language and (2) more companies will be permitted to produce beautiful quality editions relative to CBP. When one company monopolizes quality is cheap for a hefty price.
So The Divine Office: Daily Worship (Ordinariate) doesn't line up with the main calendar? Beyond that, we are getting a new version of the LOTH supposedly fairly soon but could still be years away? Sorry for the questions but I'm trying to narrow things down. I have Christian prayer and do enjoy it but do find it a little bit lacking. I would like a more complete version of the office but I don't want to spend $200 and then they come out with a new one that makes the old one obsolete. I could buy the four volume LOTH But after a few years the new version will come out and it will just sit on the shelf? Certainly nobody will buy the old one if the new one is a big improvement also. So many options and things to consider. If this 3 volume set from Collins will not be replaced soon, perhaps I should just get it
The Ordinariate has a slightly different calendar. Yes, we are getting a new translation of LOTH but it will not effect your private recitation of the Office
once you're familiar with the calendar, and you're familiar with the psalms, it just seems to me that all of these publications are just a million and one ways to produce the same thing....
@@ConvincedCatholicism Thanks for all your reviews, they're excellent helps for those of us looking to spend hard earned money on these books! Please keep up the good work.

i have the morning and evening prayer of this and it’s so neat to use. and it’s nice that’s all year around.
I used that book for a long time. It is awesome
I got this one ! Thanks for the video !
Hope you enjoy it!
Life seems a lot simpler with Divine Worship: Daily Office used in the Personal Ordinariate!

These are great. This is the edition I use for praying the Office.
Glad to hear you enjoy it
Great review- thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Collins Liturgical Press editions are always much more attractive than Catholic Book, it seems to me.
I would agree Dale. I still do not know why Catholic Book Publishing uses that art and that font
Very well done. If you already didn't have the Liturgy of the Hours 4 Vol. set, this might be quite attractive.
Thanks! Btw love the name and profile. I have been looking into pipes
@@ConvincedCatholicism website of the same name. Anything I can do to help let me know.

I didn’t catch- does this office use a two or four week cycle of the psalter?
4 week
where did you get that copy of christian prayer please?
It was handed down to me but it is available both on Amazon and Catholic Book Publishing
@@ConvincedCatholicism thank you
once you're familiar with the calendar, and you're familiar with the psalms, it just seems to me that all of these publications are just a million and one ways to produce the same thing....
What do you mean?
I think you're confusing what it means by 'ordinary'. It means the Sundays in 'ordinary' time, not the 'ordinary' section of the office.
I saw the other comment you posted 👍
@@ConvincedCatholicism Thanks for all your reviews, they're excellent helps for those of us looking to spend hard earned money on these books! Please keep up the good work.
Within less than 20 minutes CZcams unsubscribed my subscription with you. Just thought I'd tell you
Hmm... never heard of that happening before. Hope it is just a fluke!
@@ConvincedCatholicism Hope so.
