Dear Fr. Aidan Collect of the Day The collect of the day is the collect given for Lauds each day. This is used at all the hours which make use of collect of...
Interest is being shown in the reprinting of the Monastic Diurnal (MD) by Lancelot Andrewes Press. I bought my first copy in 2000. As an Anglican Benedictine...
The main thing I don't like about the revised Psalter used in the AB is the way that the psalms are chopped up into more or less equal portions. I find it...
Hi Mark, thanks for the help. Learning all these little nuances of the rubrics is slow going but everyone's help is appreciated. It makes just a little more...
Hi MArk, you mentioned the Collect of the day was from Lauds but in doing Matins this morning I couldn't find it. I used the one for the Proper of Saints. at...
Thanks again Mark for the help. Actually, I've been reading Daniels lessons. I printed each lesson out and put them into a three ring notebook, along with some...
Be careful, Mark. You're doing such a good job you might get picked to write the ordo :) In all seriousness, though. Thanks for you help. I'm still learning...
Hi Fr Marco, Sorry its taken awhile to respond to your question about the CEC. I lost my glasses this past weekend while kyaking. There somewhere at the bottom...
Something I found quite helpful is to take a notebook, and each time you "learn" something, write it down. There is no need to list what you already "know"...
Part II The CEC is an independent catholic and anglican Communion, which emphasizes a convergence of three streams of ancient orthodoxy- evangelical,...
Dear Lew I'm still on my first year myself, so writing the order out in this way is very much an exercise for my own benefit as much as anyone else's. And...
I very much agree about the notebook. I found writing down things as I came across them (e.g. the difference between a double, semi-double and simple, when...
Mark, et. al. I've found the best lessons are learned by just sitting down with the book and reading the rubrics. This should provoke a big "Duh," but before...
I agree. It's always a good idea to read through the rubrics before starting the hour, otherwise one may miss such things as the fact that today we use a ...
First, my apology for those of you who see this message in several forums. In the Anglican Breviary and many other office books (non contemporary) it is made...
That would be a fair guess. It certainly wasn't the case in the Breviary and Missal in effect in England prior to the introduction of the 1549 BCP. Daniel...
Lew, I found that several lazy Saturday afternoons spent in an armchair with the Breviary and a good scotch did wonders for my basic grounding in the structure...
Friends, This year the Feast of St. Barnabas occurs with Trinity Sunday. In the Roman Kalendar, St. Barnabas is ranked as a greater double, and therefore is...
Dear Sean This is a bit of a mystery. Cranmer's prayer book of 1549 makes no mention of using "Lord hear my prayer" in place of "The Lord be with you". But ...
Daniel: An armchair and a good scotch make all things, from reading rubrics (which many would think intensely boring) to a crossword puzzle infinitely more ...
Mark: Where were the first six verses of Psalm 30 said during Compline? After the traditional Ps 4 & 91? I've not seen this in the different versions of ...
Dear Lew Using prayer book numbering, the first six verses of Psalm 31 were said between Psalm 4 and Psalm 91. In thee, O Lord, have I put my trust; let me...
Mark: Thanks so much for this. I must admit I've never seen these verses in a Compline service. However, I have heard parts of them ("Into thy hands O ...

Oof...good idea! http://www.trappist.net/news/docs/2006/may/enews_05_27b_06.html Lew P.S. They seem to have a podcasting option, not sure what it includes ... ...
PAX This may be a little late, but there is a site- www.breviary.net who have an Ordo which follows the old Roman Breviary. It is largely the same... the site ...
Richard, Many thanks for reminding us of this. I do wish the site was a bit more indexed, though. I would love to be able to work out how to print relevant...
