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

Would someone help me out?
After the Octave, the breviary gives the 3 Alleluias as the antiphons for Vespers. My rubrics state, “Under which antiphon alone, namely Alleluia, all the Psalms are said….”.
Does this mean that one recites Alleluia 3 times before the 1st Psalm, recite the Gloria Patri after each Psalm as usual, and recite 3 Alleluias after the 5th Psalm? OR use the 3 Alleluias before and after each Psalm as usual in such a way that between the 1st and 2nd /3rd and 4th, one is reciting Alleluia 6 times?
Hey greasemonkey,
AFTER the Octave, on feria days, your first guess is right. Alleluia x 3 before 1st psalm, glory be between each psalm and alleluia x 3 after last psalm. Right now, though, in the octave, you are still using the Easter psalms from lauds for lauds and vespers.

That’s what I thought. Thank you for your help!
One more thing,
check out divinumofficium.com He has the breviary online for all the different versions, however, Matins readings don’t always match what is in my breviary. I thought I had it all down but Easter always throws me off too.
Danny
That website is the Office before the reforms of John XXIII. There are elements that aren’t part of the 1962 rite. Anyhow, Matins remains unchartered waters for me. I really don’t “get it” yet.
