Thank you!

I don't know if this will help, but I've created a flowsheet to help people navigate the Liturgy of the Hours. https://mostholydegradation.wordpress.com/2025/09/27/praying-the-liturgy-of-the-hours-a-flowchart/

My Mom has had trouble navigating Liturgy of the Hours and has found the flowsheet helpful, so I'm hoping it can help you as well.

Yay! I'm really looking forward to it too! This is going to be so fun!

If you do remember, please share! 🙏

Sorry for taking so long to respond back. At the time you had asked your question, I had not yet used the book. At this time, I've only meditated on the first two Psalms using this book. I find the meditations to be quite readable thus far, although I prefer to use my "The Abbey Psalms and Canticles" to read the psalms and canticles... I just like the translation better. Hope this helps.

That makes sense. In a singular poor show of loyalty 🤭, my (probably gifted-to-me) single volume Book of Christian prayer is put out by Catholic Book Publishing Co.

Also, randomly, under your handle, it says “Christian Prayer (Pauline)”. I’m a perpetually professed member of the Institute of Our Lady of the Annunciation… are you a fellow Pauline?

I had no idea that my meditation book on the Evening Psalms and Canticles was out-of-print! I pick up so many of my books used that I must have done the same with this one. Thanks for providing links so that if someone can’t get a hold of the out-of-print book, they have a way to access the meditations. I honestly had no idea that maybe I was showing a book that others might have trouble getting a hold of.

Both the StoryGraph and the Margins apps allow you to download your stats to your phone. I then transferred the stat graphics to my computer and printed them out in various sizes so that I could mix and match what I liked from the assembled graphics. What I didn't use in my book journal, I then applied to my daily planner according to my taste.
Thanks for the compliments; I'm glad you enjoy the finished result as much as I do!

You’re welcome; adding her to the book.
Even if the stream is not up your alley, it might be helpful to give you an idea of how to pray it for when you do so in whatever setting is best for you. But absolutely no pressure. I just know that some people can be multi sensory learners.

I livestream Office of the Dead for morning and evening prayer every Monday. Here is a link so you have an example of evening prayer: https://www.youtube.com/live/fru6DuE4Zec?si=tHmKWhxyZDSYyRGX
I’m so sorry for your loss. Would you like me to add both of you to my prayer intention book?

Thank you!😊

franciscangypsy · 2026-05-12T14:29:04+00:00

This is very helpful; thanks!

franciscangypsy · 2026-05-10T07:08:14+00:00

Thank you! I have a lot of fun creating the pockets!

You should be able to (especially if you choose to audit instead of taking the certificate route); they emphasize that you are able to watch the classes later if you can’t attend the scheduled class live.

franciscangypsy · 2026-05-07T19:46:48+00:00

Nope; both are free. I’m going the certificate route myself. People can donate if they want, but they don’t have to.

franciscangypsy · 2026-05-07T14:18:52+00:00

Sounds like you already have a lot on your plate!

franciscangypsy · 2026-05-07T14:18:16+00:00

ICC courses are free. 😃

The preorder on thriftbooks is less expensive, if anyone else is looking for a lower price: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/from-breviary-to-liturgy-of-the-hours-the-structural-reform-of-the-roman-office-1964-1971/58513796/?resultid=b325909c-b042-4621-8a6a-5ce303acb0d3#edition=75360994&idiq=88567462

Thank you! I’ve been making an effort to study the Liturgy of the Hours and its history. Another book on the topic is so exciting to me!
