No frills, but sung hymn in Vespers. About half way through Compline I decided to sing some of it. It’s been a while.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I’m curious, Father (as someone who recites the offices himself as a layperson) what time do you usually recite the offices?
When I have the time.
Thank you, Father.
I was hoping you would record Compline, as it is the only Hour for which I have the Latin words and can follow along.
The sung portion especially was prayerful–which I much prefer to a “professional” performance.
Ave Maria,
Thank you so much Father. I have been feeling as if I’m alone who recite Vesper and Compline in Latin.
As a “hobby” (I mean I’m not a one of professional sacredotaris), I prefer to pray Liturgia Horarum by myself. For this purpose, I have few friend except Radio Vaticana and this site ( http://www.almudi.org/Portals/0/docs/Breviario/fuentes/breviario.html)
Thank you again Father, all of sudden, you realized me the importance of these prayers reciting in Latin. I study these “most necessary prayer” for lay faithful once again.
Kind regards in Christ,
Fr. Z., thank you for these prayers. They are a great consolation. May God give you strength and many blessings,
