![]() My smartphone is a multi-tool, a book is not. But I prefer the books to pray the Liturgy of the Hours, and here’s a few helpful reasons why. Yes, I know, and I do (when my books aren’t available). ![]() However, as far as I'm aware neither Edition has readings for all days of the year, rather they provide a few readings for feast days and Sundays at Vigils.Then, too, I run into Catholics who inquire and the other popular response I receive is, “You know you can do that from your phone, right?” I haven't used Benedictine Daily Prayer and I know the two editions have some significant differences. ![]() Iirc, depending on the day it provides one to three readings equivalent to the readings of the DW:DO with each reading broken into three chunks. The Monastic Diurnal and Matins has the traditional lessons at Matins which include some readings from Scripture and some from Church Fathers and other Saints. The readings throughout the week and on most feast days in the DW:DO are on a One-Year Cycle whilst the Sunday readings are on a Two-Year Cycle. The North American Edition explicitly states that readings may be shortened or lengthened by the user if desired and the lectionary is the same in essence between the North American and Commonwealth Edition. The Divine Worship: Daily Office has a lectionary with two readings at Mattins and two readings at Evensong, it has some gaps in it from time to time but it encourages the use of a bible for the readings so you can just read the parts in between if so desired. For the DW:DOs you'd have:įor the Monastic Matins and Diurnal you'd have:Īnd for Benedictine Daily Prayer it would be: Yep, all three include enough hours to be used every three hours throughout the daytime, even the North American DW:DO which is missing Prime can be used every three hours. The Liturgy of the Hours prays 147 Psalms every four weeks.īenedictine Daily Prayer I think prays 133 Psalms every two weeks. In these you can pray all 150 psalms usually once a month. I think the Commonwealth Edition is preferable between the two. Versions of Terce, Sext, None, and Compline are given in the North American Edition, but not Prime. The North American Edition does the same, but differently, and provides more Episcopalian offices for Mattins and Evensong. The Divine Worship: Daily Office Commonwealth Edition allows for the praying of the Anglican offices of Mattins (Matins + Lauds) and Evensong (Vespers + Compline) with the lesser hours of Prime, Terce, Sext, None, and Compline available as well if desired. So it has all of the hours, it is relatively affordable as far as breviaries go (~$120), and usually you would pray all 150 psalms each week.Īnother option would be the Monastic Diurnal + Monastic Matins from Lancelot Andrewes Press which is similarly priced and if you buy both the Diurnal and Matins you'd have all of the traditional monastic hours for every day of the year.
