SAINT GABRIEL HOURS

Praying with Christ.  Every Day.  Every Where


 WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER

SEVENTEENTH WEDNESDAY OF ORDINARY TIME   




ORDINARY WEEK XVII

PSALTER WEEK I


===================================================

Three Options (Formats) for Praying this Morning

FULL ROMAN RITE SERVICES

Each of the Three Options contains the full official text of Roman Rite for both Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer.  Links to two websites are embedded here for convenience so that one does not have to go to their websites, then locate the desired options. Both websites publish their offices early for the convenience of English speakers in New Zealand, Australia and the Philippines. On some days the correct office may not be obvious, indeed the first option could be difficult to find, since it is published in the Philippines, and they have moved on to the next hour or even next day.

Embedded links brings the additional advantages of eliminating YouTube advertisements, and of being able to choose any of three hymns to begin the Hour regardless of which format you choose

DIVINE OFFICE.ORG OPTION

Excellent model of small household size community reciting the office with sung hymn at the beginning.



Invitatory Psalm 95
Hymn: "When Breaks the Day"
anonymous translation of "Nox et tenebrae et nubila 
 *******************************************************


SING THE HOURS OPTION

Excellent model of totally sung office mostly by one very talented young person. His father is an excellent translator of Latin Hymns. If like myself you like the translations better than the Latin, you might want to e-mail them, since they welcome your feedback. Be respectful of their love of Latin if you ask for less of it. Their love of Latin is strong, and those with a love of Latin have gravitated to this site.  Encouraging them to sing both the English and the Latin might help to make this website accessible to more people.



Latin and English Hymn: "Nox et tenebrae et nubila" 
Translation by John Rose
