Divine Office / Morning & Evening Prayer Online in UK The Liturgy of the Hours Latin : Liturgia Horarum or Divine Office Latin: Officium Divinum or Work of God Latin: Opus Dei or canonical hours[a] often referred to as the Breviary[b] is the official set Divine Office: v. 2 prayers "marking the hours of each day Divine Office: v. 2 sanctifying the day with prayer". Together with the Massit constitutes the official public prayer life of the Church. The Liturgy of the Hours also forms the basis of prayer within Christian monasticism. Celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours is an obligation undertaken by priests and deacons intending to become priests, while deacons intending to remain deacons are obliged to recite only a part. The Liturgy of the Hours, along with the Eucharisthas formed part of the Church's public worship from the earliest times. Within the Latin Churchthe present official form of the entire Liturgy of the Hours is that contained in the four-volume publication Liturgia Horarumthe first edition of which appeared in English translations were soon produced and were made official for their territories by the competent episcopal conferences. The three-volume Divine Officewhich uses a range of different English Bibles for the readings from Scripture, was published in ; the four-volume Liturgy of the Hourswith Scripture readings from the New American Bibleappeared Divine Office: v. 2 The Lutheran counterpart is contained in the liturgical books used by the various Lutheran church bodies. Other names in Latin liturgical rites for the Liturgy of the Hours include "Diurnal and Nocturnal Office", "Ecclesiastical Office", Cursus ecclesiasticusor simply cursus. The General Instruction of the Liturgy of Hours in the Roman Rite states: "The public and communal prayer of the people of God is rightly considered among the first duties of the Church. From the very beginning the baptized 'remained faithful to the teaching of the apostles, to the brotherhood, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers' Acts 2 Many times the Acts of the Apostles testifies that the Christian community prayed together. The testimony of the early Church shows that individual faithful also devoted themselves to prayer at certain hours. In various areas the practice soon gained ground of devoting special times to prayer in common. Early Christians were in fact continuing Divine Office: v. 2 Jewish practice of reciting prayers at certain hours of the day or night. In the Psalms are found expressions like "in the morning I offer you my prayer"; [11] "At midnight I will rise and thank you"; [12] "Evening, morning and at noon I will cry and lament"; "Seven times a day I praise you". The Apostles observed the Jewish custom of praying at the third, sixth, and ninth hours, and at midnight Acts9; ; etc. The Christian prayer of that time consisted of almost the same elements as the Jewish: recital or chanting of psalms and reading of the Old Testament, to which were soon added readings of the Gospels, Acts, and epistles, and canticles. By the time of Saint Benedict of Nursiathe monastic Liturgy of the Hours was composed of seven daytime hours and one at night. This arrangement of the Liturgy of the Hours is described by Saint Benedict. However, it is found in Saint John Cassian 's Institutes and Conferences[18] [ failed verification ] which describe the monastic practices of the Desert Fathers of Egypt. The distinction, already expressed in the Code of Rubrics[21] between the three major hours Matins, Lauds and Vespers and the minor hours Terce, Sext, None and Compline has been retained. All hours, including the minor hours, start with the versicle from Ps 70 69 v. Deus, in adiutorium meum intende ; R. Domine, ad adiuvandum me festina God, come to my assistance; Lord, make haste to help mefollowed by the doxology. The Invitatory is the Divine Office: v. 2 to the first hour said on the current day, whether it be the Office of Readings or Morning Prayer. The opening is followed by a hymn. The hymn is followed by psalmody. The psalmody is Divine Office: v. 2 by a scripture reading. The reading is called a chapter capitulum if it is short, or a lesson lectio if it is long. The reading is followed by a versicle. The hour is closed by an oration followed by a Divine Office: v. 2 versicle. Other components are included depending on the exact type of hour being celebrated. In each office, the psalms and canticle are framed by antiphonsand each concludes with the traditional Catholic doxology. The character of Morning Prayer is that of Divine Office: v. 2 of Evening Prayer, that of thanksgiving. Both follow a similar format:. In addition to the distribution of almost the whole Psalter over a four-week cycle, the Church also provides appropriate hymns, readings, psalms, canticles and antiphons, Divine Office: v. 2 use in marking specific celebrations in the Roman Calendarwhich sets out the order for the liturgical year. An Invitatory precedes the canonical hours of the day beginning with the versicle "Lord, open my lips. Unless the Invitatory is used, each Hour begins with the versicle "God, come to my assistance. Each Hour concludes with a prayer followed by a short versicle and response. Matins or the Office of Readings is the longest hour. Before Pope Pius X's reformit involved the recitation of 18 psalms on Sundays and 12 on ferial days. Pope Pius X reduced this to 9 psalms or portions of psalms, still arranged in three "nocturns", each set of three psalms followed by three short readings, usually three consecutive sections from the same text. Pope Paul VI's reform reduced the number of psalms or portions of psalms to three, and the readings to two, but lengthened these. On feast days the Te Deum is sung or recited before the concluding prayer. Divine Office: v. 2 St. Pius X's reform, Lauds was reduced to four psalms or portions of psalms and an Old Testament canticle, putting an end to the custom of adding the last three psalms of the Psalter — at Divine Office: v. 2 end of Lauds every day. The number of Divine Office: v. 2 or portions of psalms is Divine Office: v. 2 reduced to two, together with one Old Testament canticle chosen from a wider range than before. After these there is a short reading and response Divine Office: v. 2 the singing or recitation of the Benedictus. Vespers has a very similar structure, differing in that Pius X assigned to it five psalms now reduced to 2 psalms and a New Testament canticle and the Magnificat took the place of the Benedictus. On some days in Pius X's arrangement, but now always, there follow Preces or intercessions. In the present arrangement, the Lord's Prayer is also recited before the concluding prayer. Terce, Sext and None have an identical structure, each with three psalms or portions of psalms. These are followed by a short reading from Scripture, once referred to as a "little chapter" capitulumand by a versicle and response. In monasteries and cathedrals, celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours became more elaborate. Served by monks or canons, regular celebration required a Psalter for the psalms, a lectionary for the Scripture readings, other books for patristic and hagiographical readings, a collectary for the orations, and also books such as the antiphonary and the responsoriary for the various chants.

Pecklers | 160 pages | 29 Dec 2009 | Continuum Publishing Corporation | 9781441104038 | English | New York, United States The Genius of the Roman Rite, by Keith Pecklers SJ - PrayTellBlog It developed in the Latin language in the city of Rome and, while distinct Latin liturgical rites such as the Ambrosian Rite remain, the Roman Rite has over time been adopted almost everywhere in the Western Church. In medieval times there were very many local variants, even if they did not all amount to distinct rites, but uniformity grew as a result of the invention of printing and in obedience to the decrees of the — Council of Trent see Quo primum. Several Latin liturgical rites that survived into the 20th century were abandoned voluntarily in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. The Roman Rite is now the most widespread liturgical rite not only in the Latin Church but in Christianity as a whole. It is now normally celebrated in the form promulgated by Pope Paul VI in and revised by Pope John Paul II inbut use of the Roman Missal remains authorized as an extraordinary form under the conditions indicated in the papal document Summorum Pontificum. The Roman Rite is noted for its sobriety of expression. Concentration on the exact moment of change of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ has led, in the Roman Rite, to the consecrated Host and the chalice being shown to the people immediately after the Words of Institution.

  • Devotional March 6 – April 20, 2019
    LENTEN DEVOTIONAL MARCH 6 – APRIL 20, 2019 The Lenten Season Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends with the Resurrection on Easter. We skip Sundays when we count the forty days because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. This year Lent begins on March 6, 2019 and ends on April 20, 2019. It is meant as a time for repentance and reflection, for silence and prayer, for listening to God. The season serves as a reminder of our need to humble ourselves and call upon Jesus for forgiveness. When we participate in the devotions and traditions of Lent, we participate personally in Christ’s sacrifice, death and resurrection in a way that allows us to be involved with what He has done for us on many levels, both spiritually and physically, in a very personal and meaningful way. This will not only teach us personal strength and discipline, but will bless us as the true meaning of Lent fills our hearts and strengthens our spirits. How to Use This Guide This guide is intended to provide families, individuals or study groups with a devotional to study each day of the Lenten season. As we progress through Lent we will study ways we “Follow Jesus for Life.” Some tell their story of coming to Christ, some describe where they have seen Christ in action, and some describe some disciplines and practices that help us in our journey with Jesus. Each day the guide includes a passage of Scripture, a devotion, an image and a prayer.

  • Christian Music and Culture in India
    IJMSS Vol.2 Issue-12, (December 2014) ISSN: 2321-1784 Impact Factor- 3.259 CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND CULTURE IN INDIA Samuel Praise P., Dr. K. Meenakshi, Research Scholar, Associate Professor (Senior), VIT University, Vellore, India. VIT University, Vellore. #120, mullai nagar, 2nd cross, Otteri, bagayam, vellore-632002, India. Abstract This paper focuses on the origin of Christianity and Christian music in India, how it originated during the early stages and its development till date. Until the late 1960s, Christian music invoked images of church, hymnals and organs. Traditional was the word of the day but not anymore. The face of Christian music has spent the last 30 and more years evolving and growing. Pipe organs have been set aside for electric guitars and drums. Hymnals have been replaced by hard hitting lyrics that speak of today and a God that is fully in control of our times. Christian music has gone farther than the church and can be found on radio, TV, in concert halls and at huge rallies and festivals. It has expanded to include a vast array of styles. Rock, metal, rap, country, gospel, urban gospel, easy listening, and pop are all covered so regardless of taste in music style. Today’s Christian can find something of interest to listen to. Christian music is on the go with its own video shows, radio stations, awards, publications and web sites. The change itself hasn't been sudden. It has taken many years. Through the sacrifices from artists who were bold enough to go against tradition and giving music its shape according to its times.

  • THE DEVELOPMENT of the RITE of BAPTISM Joseph Lupi
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RITE OF BAPTISM Joseph Lupi The first account we have of a rite of Baptism is in the first Apology of Justin, written in A.D. 150: "As many as are persuaded and believe what we teach and say is true, and undertake to be able to live accordingly, are instructed to pray and to entreat God with fasting for the remission of their sins that are past, we praying and fasting with them. Then they are brought by us where there is water, and are regenerated in the same manner in which we ourselves were regenerated. For in the name of God the Father and Lord of the universe, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit they then receive the washing with water ...... After we have thus washed who has been convinced and has given his assent, we bring him to those who are called brethren where they are assembled together, in order that we may offer prayer in common for ourselves and for the person who has received illumination and for all others in every place.... Having ended the prayers .... to the president is brought bread and a cup of water and wine ... and he, taking them, gives praise and glory to the Father of all things ... And when the president has celebrated the Eucharist. ... deacons give to each of those who are present a portion of the Eucharistic bread and wine and water. ... " (Apol. 61-62) The Traditio Apostolica, generally attributed to Hippolytus of Rome, gives more details: before one is accepted as a candidate for Baptism a severe inquiry is made about his life and social condition the Traditio giving a long list of persons who cannot be accepted as candidates for Baptism; those accepted as candidates undergo a three year long preparation for Baptism, after which only those who during this three year period have given a good account of themselves, are accepted for Baptism during the Easter Vigil.
