Podcasts about Divine Office

"We believe that the divine presence is everywhere... But we should believe this especially without any doubt when we are assisting at the Work of God." The Rule of St. Benedict is a foundational spiritual guide composed by St. Benedict of Nursia, the father of Western monasticism, around 530 AD. In the chapters comprising this second episode, Benedict details the structure of the Divine Office, establishes the rhythms and roles of community life, and provides guidelines for the disciplinary measures to be taken against erring brothers.

Completorium is known as Compline or Complin with all the different possible pronunciations. I'm using the Roman Little Office of Our Lady in the 1915 version. The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a cut down version of the Divine Office for the Laity or Third Orders. The Gregorian Chant is from the Antiphonale Romanum. The Marian Antiphon, Ave Regina Caelorum is sung in the Simple Tone.This one was surprisingly easy to put together as I didn't make so many mistakes. Once upon a time I did have this memorised, but that was a while ago.Booklets in PDF available:https://littleoffice.brandt.id.au/Support this channel, either via Substack or Buy Me a Coffee Get full access to Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary at littleoffice.substack.com/subscribe

Vespers, Vesperae, Evening Prayer for the time from Septuagesima Sunday through Ash Wednesday, First Sunday of Lent right through to Holy Thursday. The Little Office is not prayed publically over the Sacred Triduum, but if you were saying it privately, this is what you could use. The Divine Office proper to the Sacred Triduum is pretty amazing though and well worth looking into. divinumofficium.com is a good place to start. Tenebrae is the most musical hour (Matins+Lauds) with many fine recordings available on Youtube.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 339The Saint of the day is Saint Peter DamianSaint Peter Damian's Story Maybe because he was orphaned and had been treated shabbily by one of his brothers, Peter Damian was very good to the poor. It was the ordinary thing for him to have a poor person or two with him at table and he liked to minister personally to their needs. Peter escaped poverty and the neglect of his own brother when his other brother, who was archpriest of Ravenna, took him under his wing. His brother sent him to good schools and Peter became a professor. Already in those days, Peter was very strict with himself. He wore a hair shirt under his clothes, fasted rigorously and spent many hours in prayer. Soon, he decided to leave his teaching and give himself completely to prayer with the Benedictines of the reform of Saint Romuald at Fonte Avellana. They lived two monks to a hermitage. Peter was so eager to pray and slept so little that he soon suffered from severe insomnia. He found he had to use some prudence in taking care of himself. When he was not praying, he studied the Bible. The abbot commanded that when he died Peter should succeed him. Abbot Peter founded five other hermitages. He encouraged his brothers in a life of prayer and solitude and wanted nothing more for himself. The Holy See periodically called on him, however, to be a peacemaker or troubleshooter, between two abbeys in dispute or a cleric or government official in some disagreement with Rome. Finally, Pope Stephen IX made Peter the cardinal-bishop of Ostia. He worked hard to wipe out simony—the buying of church offices–and encouraged his priests to observe celibacy and urged even the diocesan clergy to live together and maintain scheduled prayer and religious observance. He wished to restore primitive discipline among religious and priests, warning against needless travel, violations of poverty, and too comfortable living. He even wrote to the bishop of Besancon complaining that the canons there sat down when they were singing the psalms in the Divine Office. He wrote many letters. Some 170 are extant. We also have 53 of his sermons and seven lives, or biographies, that he wrote. He preferred examples and stories rather than theory in his writings. The liturgical offices he wrote are evidence of his talent as a stylist in Latin. He asked often to be allowed to retire as cardinal-bishop of Ostia, and finally Pope Alexander II consented. Peter was happy to become once again just a monk, but he was still called to serve as a papal legate. When returning from such an assignment in Ravenna, he was overcome by a fever. With the monks gathered around him saying the Divine Office, he died on February 22, 1072. In 1828, he was declared a Doctor of the Church. Reflection Peter was a reformer and if he were alive today would no doubt encourage the renewal started by Vatican II. He would also applaud the greater emphasis on prayer that is shown by the growing number of priests, religious, and laypersons who gather regularly for prayer, as well as the special houses of prayer recently established by many religious communities.

(28:56) Jeff - Over the years, I've heard what you're talking about. Start with the Gospels. I've done that. What am I to gain, What am I supposed to learn? From there, where do you go? (38:40) Break 2 Maria - Could you explain the 4-week cycle in the office? I know older Catholics that bring a Missal to Mass. How is that used. I'd like to try and use one. What are more ways Pope Benedict helps us with praying with scripture? (46:14) Bonnie - What has helped me with absorbing scripture, is watching The Chosen. It's bringing it to life for me.

Catholic Resolutions in the New Year 2025 It's not uncommon for those in the Catholic Church to hear New Year's Resolutions involving more exercise, more travel, or more savings! And many have heard the typical New Year's Resolution to pray more... Dr Luis Sandoval will give Catholics real New Year's Resolutions that will guarantee any listener to focus only on their salvation. The only thing that matters for our perpetual souls is that we make it to heaven so why not center this year's changes around confirming our minds to Christ? In the show that focuses heavily on Mental Health, Dr Sandoval recommends not just praying more, but frequently attending a prayer group to hold yourself accountable to prioritizing prayer. Groups like the Legions of Mary will meet regularly and you can use that for keeping a consistent prayer schedule. For those of us who are above the ordinary discipline of praying all day, Dr. Sandoval recommends that you learn the Liturgy of the Hours. A feat that at one time or another would be difficult for most but with modern apps and websites, learning the Divine Office is a practical resolution for Catholics in 2025.

Through the Catechism, we learn more about the Lord's Prayer and how it should be included in our personal prayers as well as in community during the liturgy of the Mass. In giving us the Our Father, Jesus models how we are to use this prayer to speak directly with the Father. Fr. Mike drives home that we receive the words to pray and also receive the Holy Spirit when saying this prayer. Together, the words and the Holy Spirit enable us to pray like Christ and become more like him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2765-2772. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Revel in our anecdotes about St. Nick's Day and St. Lucy's Day, and laugh with us over our attempts to navigate the complexities of Amazon's pricing system. The episode also delves into the spiritual aspects of fasting during Advent and Lent, drawing wisdom from the old Divine Office and the Church Fathers, highlighting how these practices foster spiritual growth and community engagement.With a reflection on the value of focusing on local parish life rather than being swept up in global Church news, this episode champions the importance of community-led faith experiences. Our journey through cherished family traditions and holiday memories—complete with hidden baby Jesus figures and thoughtful approaches to Santa Claus—illustrates the profound influence of faith and tradition.

This is the first time I've recorded the little prayer from the 1915 version of the Little Office and earlier.It's in my Medieval Lauds booklet : https://littleoffice.brandt.id.au/#bookletsHere's the antiphon from Gregobase:Behold the Lord comes, and all his saints with him: and it will be in that day a great light, alleluia.This comes in at the end of Lauds and Vespers in the older editions of the Little Office. The history of this little piece is worth reading. When the Little Offices emerged, there were three main ones: * All Saints* The Faithful Departed* Our LadySaying all of them as well as the Divine Office proved too much, so different orders generally went with either Our Lady or the Dead. The Little Office of the Saints survived in this little Commemoration in the Little Office of Our Lady. Then in 1962 the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary was pared down a little bit more and the commemoration was removed, along with the little “Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison”.

The second track on the planned Little Office CD for Advent.This is the hour of Prime - the hour which didn't get carried across from the Divine Office into the Liturgy of the Hours. Prime means “First”, but it isn't listed first in any books I've come across. At daybreak this hour is sung. In the full Office it finishes with a recitation of the Martyrology for the following day - a good practice even if the Little Office doesn't require it.As always, you can find the booklets at https://littleoffice.brandt.id.au/#bookletsKeen ears might hear how I mistakenly used the incipit tune beginning for the last Gloria Patri in the Psalms in the recording. I hope you forgive the mistake made in some sort of surge of gladness to be nearing the end of the track. These recordings aren't perfect, but I hope they help.

Homily for the 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time (October 13, 2024) Total Time: 11:52s (Recorded at the St. Anthony Prayer Group Retreat at the Archbishop Brunett Retreat Center at the Palisades)Text quoted from Pope Benedict XVI's Homily of September 2, 2012The Church has set the words of Deuteronomy — “Where is there a people to whom God is so close as our God is close to us, every time we invoke him?” — at the centre of the Divine Office of Corpus Christi, and gave it new meaning: where is there a people to whom God is as close as our God is to us? In the Eucharist this has become the full reality. It is of course not merely an exterior aspect: someone can stand near the tabernacle and, at the same time, be far from the living God. What matters is inner closeness! God came so close to us that he himself became a man: this should disconcert and surprise us again and again! He is so close that he is one of us. He knows the human being, he knows the “feeling” of the human being, he knows it from within; he has experienced all its joys and all its suffering. As a man, he is close to me, close “within earshot” — so close that he hears me and I am aware: He hears me and answers me, even though perhaps not quite as I imagined.Let us be filled again with this joy: where is there a people to whom God is so close as our God is to us? So close that he is one of us, touches me from within. Yes, he enters me in the holy Eucharist. A bewildering thought. On this process, St Bonaventure once used in his communion prayers a formula that shakes, almost frightens, one. He said: my Lord, how did you ever think of entering the dirty latrine of my body? Yes, he enters into our misery, he does it knowingly and in order to penetrate us, to clean us and to renew us, so that, through us, in us, the truth may be in the world and bring salvation. Let us ask the Lord forgiveness for our indifference, for our misery that makes us think only of ourselves, for our selfishness that does not seek the truth but follows habit, and that perhaps often makes Christianity resemble a mere system of habits. Let us ask that he come with power into our souls, that he be present in us and through us — and that in this way joy may be born in us again: God is here, and loves me. He is our salvation! Amen.

Today we'll trace the development of both the Divine Office and the Mass over 1,000 years, beginning with St. Gregory the Great in the 6th century and concluding with the reforms of the Council of Trent. We'll discuss how St. Gregory helped shape the liturgical framework and preserved unity while allowing local traditions to thrive. Moving forward, we'll trace how these traditions evolved, influencing lots of different rites across Europe. We're not used to thinking that lots of rites are good – but what was good about them? And why did these ultimately lead to the standardization by Pope St. Pius V, known as the Tridentine Mass. Join us as we journey through this intricate and fascinating liturgical history.

Father John Eckert joins Patrick to discuss Praying with Scripture. (7:21) What is the difference between reading scripture and praying with scripture?

Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts.     In Today's Show: We are new parents. Is it a mortal sin for us to miss Sunday Mass due to taking care of our baby? (Feeding, sleeping, fussiness, etc). We try our best but sometimes it's too late. When does rash judgment become a mortal sin, and when is it considered a venial sin? Could you provide examples? Does this apply to rash judgements in thoughts as well? Can I, a Catholic, attend my nephew's wedding (who also is a Catholic) who is getting married in an SSPV chapel? Is it correct that scholasticism is the only proper way to interpret scripture? What guidance, if any, does the Church give on how much to leave for your children as inheritance vs to give to the church? I'm working on my will and would appreciate guidance. Why do Catholics often blame Luther for the reformation rather than Pope Leo X? Do the psalms and scripture readings from the Divine Office “count towards” the indulgence associated with 30 minutes of scripture reading in a day? What is the significance of the number 40 in Sacred Scripture? I notice it comes up a lot, particularly referring to a passage of 40 days. When it comes to reading from the writings of Catholic authors who wrote about Catholicism and Church doctrine, but they later apostatized (like Tertullian), should we read or avoid reading their work? I returned to the Church, but now my fellow parishioners feel way more closed off than the ones from my older church. It seems even hard to get a smile out of people. It almost feels like I'm unwelcomed. I also miss an excellent bible study I had at my old church and I'm having trouble finding any Catholic Bible study or women's retreat. I love reading and digging into scripture and feel like this would solve many things. Any idea on where I can start looking? Can a lay person perform the exposition of the Eucharist for Adoration? What would Father do in a situation where he suspected that a person may be trying to receive the Eucharist unworthily?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!

Do priests need to have permission to have mass, hear confession and celebrate weddings when traveling to a different diocese?  If Adam was incomplete without Eve, why were they created at different times? What is seminary training like for ordinariate priests? As someone who is new to the Divine Office, where would you recommend starting? Lauds. Prime, Vespers and Compline? Or maybe some form of the others?

The Liturgy of the Hours is known as the “public prayer of the Church.” Fr. Mike explains how praying the Liturgy of the Hours sanctifies time and gives God the opportunity to speak to us throughout our day. Fr.

What is included in the hymnal? What is the format and structure? Can it be used for prayer outside of the Liturgy of the Hours? Michael addresses all of these questions and much more.

Mother Miriam Live - May 14, 2024 Spiritual guidance for mothers who have recently had a newborn I would like to start praying the Divine Office and am wondering what resource you and your order use. I would also like to learn more about the Chapter (Rule of St Benedict) and wonder how I might do that? How can we cope with anxious thoughts when sometimes things that we ask for from God take longer than expected or seem like they will never come? A Catholic wife and Mother shares an inspiring story for those who find themselves in a similar role and/or situation

The focus of the Evergetinos this evening was on praying the psalms. However, as always with the writings of the fathers, the focus isn't simply on the external actions, but the meaning of them. How do we pray as members of the body of Christ? Is there a kind of liturgical asceticism that must match our bodily asceticism?  What is the measure of our prayer? In other words, as those who live in a spirit of repentance and seek purity of heart, how do these realities shape the way we pray.  The fathers this understood very well our tendency to focus on externals and that we can fall back into a modern day Pharisaism. We can be satisfied with the appearance of religiosity while giving scant attention to what God has revealed to us and the life that he has called us to embrace. Whenever this happens, it not only weakens our capacity to bear witness to Christ but it can undermine the life of the Church as a whole. If our hearts are fragmented by our sin this will manifest itself or be mirrored in liturgy. And when this takes place the entire culture around us - as well as within the church - can collapse.  It's a sobering presentation, but something that afflicts the Church in every generation. If the Evil One is going to attack the Church, he is going to attack it at its heart; that is, how we pray. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:25:00 Kate : There's also the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is very suitable for the laity.   00:25:13 Vanessa: Reacted to "There's also the Lit..." with ❤️   00:25:22 Adam Paige: Reacted to "There's also the Lit..." with ❤️   00:39:40 iPad (2): That is a wonderful book and he also has a podcast series on the book   00:50:47 Rod Castillo: The Endarkenment   00:54:30 Bob Cihak: Reacted to "The Endarkenment" with

You may have noticed that I have booklets available on how to sing the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sadly, I haven't polished these up for publication. They are still rather inconsistent and at times messy, but they are helpful for pointing you in the right direction. Preparing them for publishing feels like an epic quest beyond my present abilities. While this is a noble goal, maybe a similar yet smaller task might help towards the ultimate end. Maybe I can make a booklet for a smaller Little Office first!The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception shares some similarities and differences. Like the Divine Office, it is arranged by hours and employs similar versicles and collects. On the whole it has a rather different feel, being based around a hymn instead of the Psalms. If you can pick a hymn tune then the hours are pretty much ready to sing. That is, until you get to the last part.Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a reader-supported publication.

While the large part of the hour follows the same pattern as the other hours, it ends with a new section called The Commendation or Commendatio. This consists of a hymn followed by the response, Deo gratias, then an Antiphon, Versicle and Response closing with a Collect or Prayer.The first version I recorded only had the hymn of the Commendation, so it was only recently that I began to puzzle over the Antiphon. The other parts can be sung easily with common tunes. Antiphons are little snippets each with their own melody. There are hundreds of them in the Liber Usualis and the Antiphonale Monasticum, but not this particular one.Haec est virga in qua nec nodus originalis, nec cortex actualis culpae fuit.This is the rod wherein was neither the knot of original sin, nor the bark of actual sin.Some research revealed that this particular antiphon can be found in Vespers for the medieval Franciscan feast of the Immaculate Conception, long before the universal feast was established after Our Lady gave her title to St Bernadette at Lourdes. The two manuscripts containing the antiphon date from the 17th and 18th centuries.A beautifully photographed manuscript clearly gave all the antiphons for this feast. The neumes are intelligible even after hundreds of years. I transcribed this piece into “modern” square notes and added it to Gregobase.And here is how it sounds:Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a reader-supported publication.

Delving deep, Patrick uncovers the fascinating role of church fathers in verifying biblical texts, debates the condition of the Garden of Eden, and probes the profound meaning behind Jesus' miracle in Mark 8. Patrick navigates through complex pastoral situations, like attending weddings outside the Church, offering wisdom and guidance. Plus, he demystifies Catholic doctrines with a spotlight on intercession, the unique mediation of Jesus, and the process of beatification, all while engaging with listener questions on topics as varied as the validity of different Bibles and the moral landscape of DNA testing. Peter - Are there separate ceremonies for beatifications and sanctification when it comes to making Saints? Patrick comments on 23andMe's Fall from $6 Billion to nearly nothing Joy 9-years-old - Was the Garden of Eden really heaven? (07:52) Isaac – In Mark 8 Jesus heals a blind man in two-stages. What is the importance of Jesus healing him in two steps? Eileen - My in-law is married to a woman who was not annulled. Can I even enter their home if they invite me over? Armando - I try to defend the Catholic Church to the guys I work with. I was told that the Catholic bible is not the real bible. How can I defend my faith to non-Catholic Christians? (24:05) Rick - You sent me some DVDs to use in prison ministry which have been great. If we take the Eucharist but don't believe that it is really the body of Christ, is that sin? Bernadette - How should I dispose of a Divine Office breviary, or the religious items I get in the mail? What is the difference between tithing and almsgiving?

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the First Week in Lent Lectionary: 226The Saint of the day is Saint Peter DamianSaint Peter Damian's Story Maybe because he was orphaned and had been treated shabbily by one of his brothers, Peter Damian was very good to the poor. It was the ordinary thing for him to have a poor person or two with him at table and he liked to minister personally to their needs. Peter escaped poverty and the neglect of his own brother when his other brother, who was archpriest of Ravenna, took him under his wing. His brother sent him to good schools and Peter became a professor. Already in those days, Peter was very strict with himself. He wore a hair shirt under his clothes, fasted rigorously and spent many hours in prayer. Soon, he decided to leave his teaching and give himself completely to prayer with the Benedictines of the reform of Saint Romuald at Fonte Avellana. They lived two monks to a hermitage. Peter was so eager to pray and slept so little that he soon suffered from severe insomnia. He found he had to use some prudence in taking care of himself. When he was not praying, he studied the Bible. The abbot commanded that when he died Peter should succeed him. Abbot Peter founded five other hermitages. He encouraged his brothers in a life of prayer and solitude and wanted nothing more for himself. The Holy See periodically called on him, however, to be a peacemaker or troubleshooter, between two abbeys in dispute or a cleric or government official in some disagreement with Rome. Finally, Pope Stephen IX made Peter the cardinal-bishop of Ostia. He worked hard to wipe out simony—the buying of church offices–and encouraged his priests to observe celibacy and urged even the diocesan clergy to live together and maintain scheduled prayer and religious observance. He wished to restore primitive discipline among religious and priests, warning against needless travel, violations of poverty, and too comfortable living. He even wrote to the bishop of Besancon complaining that the canons there sat down when they were singing the psalms in the Divine Office. He wrote many letters. Some 170 are extant. We also have 53 of his sermons and seven lives, or biographies, that he wrote. He preferred examples and stories rather than theory in his writings. The liturgical offices he wrote are evidence of his talent as a stylist in Latin. He asked often to be allowed to retire as cardinal-bishop of Ostia, and finally Pope Alexander II consented. Peter was happy to become once again just a monk, but he was still called to serve as a papal legate. When returning from such an assignment in Ravenna, he was overcome by a fever. With the monks gathered around him saying the Divine Office, he died on February 22, 1072. In 1828, he was declared a Doctor of the Church. Reflection Peter was a reformer and if he were alive today would no doubt encourage the renewal started by Vatican II. He would also applaud the greater emphasis on prayer that is shown by the growing number of priests, religious, and laypersons who gather regularly for prayer, as well as the special houses of prayer recently established by many religious communities.

Seminars and discussions on themes surrounding the common good and spiritual conferences framed by the traditional elements of a retreat (Mass, adoration, the Divine Office, etc.).

Through the Catechism, we learn more about the Lord's Prayer and how it should be included in our personal prayers as well as in community during the liturgy of the Mass. In giving us the Our Father, Jesus models how we are to use this prayer to speak directly with the Father. Fr. Mike drives home that we receive the words to pray and also receive the Holy Spirit when saying this prayer. Together, the words and the Holy Spirit enable us to pray like Christ and become more like him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2765-2772. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

When we think of appetites or bodily desires, we rarely consider something such as sleep. Yet this evening St. John shows us that sleep is something that can disrupt that which is most important for the spiritual life; our prayer. Sleep is certainly an essential need that we have as human beings. However, there are many reasons that we can be drawn into it excessively. One of these is human nature of course. However, sleep can come upon us from an excess of food, from the temptation of demons, and also from extreme or prolonged fasting. Thus, sleeping is important for us to consider closely.  Excessive sleeping can become a long-standing habit that is difficult to cure.  It may be difficult for us to think of demons having an impact upon us in this fashion. Yet, when the bell rings for prayer or when the alarm goes off in the morning we can hear a voice within our minds say “Wait, give yourself a little more rest.” In modern days the snooze alarm allows us to extend this indefinitely and we begin our days, perhaps lacking prayer altogether. We can also experience the sensation of severe and unusual pains in the stomach or fits of yawning or even waves of laughter over some amusing incident that comes to mind or takes place within the church.  The same sluggishness in getting out of bed can follow us into the practice of prayer itself. We can hurry through our prayers; saying them inattentively and allowing the mind to wander. We can enter into church without the proper demeanor or making signs of devotion. When these patterns of behavior take over then the demons will certainly make sport of us. To combat this St. John encourages common prayer where we unite ourselves with others in this most essential practice of calling out to God. In this, we can call to mind Jesus' own words, “Where two or three are gathered, there I am in their midst.“  Often in our day with the breakdown of Christian culture and community, those living in the world, sadly, find themselves left to pray on their own. However, we are not left to ourselves. Through the Hours or the Divine Office we were able to pray with one mind and heart with the Church throughout the world. A deep mystical Communion exist when we engage in the prayer of the Church.  All this is meant to be a simple reminder to us about the subtle things that can distract us at the time of prayer. Therefore, St. John tells us that the practice of prayer itself purifies our hearts and increases our zeal and love for God. The more that we engage in the discipline of prayer, the greater our capacity to rout the demons! --- Text of chat during the group: 00:11:06 FrDavid Abernethy: page 160 starting Step 19   00:38:58 sharonfisher: Yes, agree, but we're not taught properly. (Re:genuflecting) Our western church has cradle Orthodox attendees from time to time. The grace of this one woman's entrance and adoration was truly beautiful. I asked how she ‘learned', but sh said she'd just grown up  with the reverence displayed.   00:42:15 sharonfisher: We need a manual to get us started! lol   00:43:15 Anthony: The older generation was taught a kind of theology that emphasizes human community.  So I think they were misled, thinking they are doing right by having socialization in church.   00:48:09 Lawrence Martone: Re: solitary prayer”for the very few'”  Some Third Order members are required to pray the office daily and spend at least 30 minutes in mental prayer daily - along with other requirements (but not under the pain of sin if missed).  Only at monthly meetings can we pray lauds or vespers in community.  Basically, we have no choice but to pray in solitude for the most part. Isn't that true of most lay people also?   00:51:51 Louise: Basically, demons are trying to make us turn our attention away from the Beloved. Yet, our present culture is ferociously made up of distractions, engineered with distractions.   00:52:26 TFredman: Replying to "Re: solitary prayer”..."   We used to pray Vespers following the 5:15 p.m. Mass Mon-Sat. This was a great blessing to us lay folk. I miss it.   00:52:58 Barbara: Would that we would become attentive to one another!   00:54:07 Lori Hatala: I find it frustrating when the windows are being closed before the priest even leaves the alter.   00:54:10 sharonfisher: Replying to "Re: solitary prayer”..."   Does attending live streamed services count? (Hoping yes)   00:54:57 Lawrence Martone: Replying to "Re: solitary prayer”..."   To TFredman,   00:55:08 Anthony: We can thank (intentional?) city planning and the heresy of Americanism for harming ethnic Catholic identity.   00:55:18 Lawrence Martone: Replying to "Re: solitary prayer”..."   Yes, I would feel the same way.   00:55:29 Ambrose Little, OP: Replying to "Re: solitary prayer”..."   Certainly it is better to pray alone than not at all. As one such 3rd order member, I have found the Office to be a tremendous anchor to my spiritual life—even though in most cases I am alone.   00:55:47 Lori Hatala: I tend to go to silent prayer when someone leading  or loudly praying is rushing through it.   00:58:09 Ambrose Little, OP: Replying to "Re: solitary prayer”..."   There's a benefit to individual prayer in that there is time to pause and meditate on things that strike you. Can't really do that in community.   00:58:52 Bonnie Lewis: Reacted to "Certainly it is bett..." with ❤️   00:59:05 Bonnie Lewis: Reacted to "There's a benefit to..." with ❤️   00:59:12 sue and mark: Reacted to "Certainly it is bett..." with ❤️   01:02:15 Susan M: I personally am very grateful for ZOOM   01:02:35 Kevin Burke: Reacted to "I personally am very…" with

Friends of the Rosary: Today is the Memorial Day of St. Benedict of Nursia (480-547), who created Western monasticism. This sixth-century saint would greatly affect spiritual and monastic life in Christendom for centuries to come. He wrote his famous Benedict Rule prescribing common sense, a life of moderate asceticism, prayer, study, and work, and community life under one superior. It stressed obedience, stability, and zeal, and had the Divine Office as the center of monastic life. His holiness, wisdom, and austerities attracted many monks who vowed to seek God and devoted themselves to work and prayer. While ruling his monks (most of whom, including Benedict, were not ordained), and organizing them into monastic communities, he counseled rulers and Popes and ministered to the poor. Seeking first of all the kingdom of God, he knew that when the believer enters into a profound relationship with God he cannot be content with living in a mediocre way, with a minimalist ethic and superficial religiosity. St. Benedict died at Monte Cassino, Italy, in 547. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Benedict, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

Dr. Tom Curran and Fr. Kurt Nagel discuss a variety of topics, including: Quo Vadis Days, discernment, Sound of Freedom movie, and praying the Divine Office.

Link to MusicAnother Hymn to St. John the Baptist (Feast: June 24th). This and it's more famous counterpart Ut Queant Laxis were originally part of the same hymn, split into three for the Divine Office. Both can be sung to the same melody (which you can learn in Episode 50) but today we'll learn a new melody. O more than blessed, merit high attaining, Pure as the snow-drift, innocent of evil, Child of the desert, mightiest of Martyrs, Greatest of Prophets.Thirtyfold increase some with glory crowneth; Sixtyfold fruitage prize for others winneth; Hundredfold measure, thrice repeated, decks thee, Blest one, for guerdon.O may the virtue of thine intercession, All stony hardness from our hearts expelling, Smooth the rough places, and the crooked straighten Here in the desert.Thus may our gracious Maker and Redeemer, Seeking a station for His hallowed footsteps, Find, when He cometh, temples undefiled, Meet to receive Him.Now as the Angels celebrate Thy praises, Godhead essential, Trinity co-equal; Spare Thy redeemed ones, as they bow before Thee, Pardon imploring.

The Liturgy of the Hours is known as the “public prayer of the Church.” Fr. Mike explains how praying the Liturgy of the Hours sanctifies time and gives God the opportunity to speak to us throughout our day. Fr. Mike encourages us to see the Liturgy of the Hours as a great gift from the Church that can powerfully transform our prayer lives when it takes root in our hearts. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1174-1178.

In the midst of Holy Week, we invite you to join Dr. William Mahrt (Stanford) for a tour in time through the lens of the Divine Office. We discuss theological thoughts on time by St. Augustine, natural vs. supernatural senses of time, the structure of the Divine Office throughout the course of one day, and the different intersecting cycles which make up the liturgical year. To learn more about this topic, check out Dr. Mahrt's summer 2023 advanced seminar on Chants of the Divine Office: https://catholicinstituteofsacredmusic.org/.
