The following are some links to the Divine Office that are available on-line: |
Mass Readings Office Readings Morning Prayer (Lauds) Evening Prayer (Vespers) Night Prayer (Compline) |
It is not possible to provide the entire Cistercian Office here, but we would like to make available a list of the psalms for the various hours of the Divine Office. (Here is the same chart using the numbering found in the Greek Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, and the English Grail Psalter.)
Odd and Even Weeks
Over a two-week period, we sing all 150 of the Psalms during the Divine Office. To do this, we split them up singing some of the them the first week and the rest of them the second week. Thus, you will see that we refer to which week we are in as "odd" or "even."
To determine which week of the two-week cycle we are singing, use this tip. If the previous Sunday is an odd number (1st week in Lent, 3rd week in Easter, 21st week in common time), then we will be singing the odd-week cycle. If the previous Sunday is an even number, then we will be singing the even-week cycle.
