cmaD2006 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 of course, it is prayed and not only read... Sorry, when I began this thread I did not know that we can use this expression in English (I am French...) like in French; sorry for all my mistakes which can annoy you, I have to improve my English! ;) :) As a common english saying goes "It's all good." I understand -- I also speak spanish, so I completely understand how nuances can be lost. And lots of sorry for not saying something sooner -- I did limit myself on PM during Advent, and I missed the response. I don't remember who suggested Magnificat but I think that is a good starting point. I've tried to put the LOTH into my schedule, and I haven't been too successful. And I agree with another poster -- I do prefer praying the LOTH in community; I tend to focus more and not try to rush through it to "get it done." Blessings ... Merry Christmas and belated Happy New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthfinder Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 is there any website to pray the office of Prime. Since prime was suppressed, it is only present in the EF breviary. See the website Divinum officium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oremus1 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I made this thread, but in the wrong forum: http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/137195-digital-breviary-usage-for-ordainedconsecratedobliged-persons-is-it-ok/ is it OK to use the online breviaries if you are a priest or consecrated person? somehow there is an idea that the books are holier. but if the text is the same, and it saves you fiddling about with ordos and ribbons and page flipping, is it OK to use them?

I don't know the "official" Church answer to that, but I know this: My former pastor (got transferred) who does the EF Mass and is very conscientious about Church teaching, used the iBrievary app. He has an iphone and we were traveling in Italy when he used it, so I don't know if that's what he usually does, but I don't think it's "banned" or "less holy," since it's the prayers themselves that matter.

The Historian Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I made this thread, but in the wrong forum: http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/137195-digital-breviary-usage-for-ordainedconsecratedobliged-persons-is-it-ok/ is it OK to use the online breviaries if you are a priest or consecrated person? somehow there is an idea that the books are holier. but if the text is the same, and it saves you fiddling about with ordos and ribbons and page flipping, is it OK to use them? To be honest I don't know if the Church has made an official decision on this matter yet. The reason books are generally viewed as being holier is because it used to be that clerics had to use texts with an imprimatur and nihil obstat to fulfil their canonical obligations. As far as I am aware, iBreviary doesn't have that. But to be honest this isn't absolutely necessary for accomplishing liturgical prayer. Saint Benedict was praying the Psalms before the imprimatur. It was a reaction by the Church against erroneous translations and non-Tridentine liturgies that introduced this requirement. I don't know what canon law says currently.

John Paul Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) PRisests may use a app they dont take a vow of poverty. The breviary is not that heavy. Edited April 16, 2015 by John Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oremus1 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 PRisests may use a app they dont take a vow of poverty. The breviary is not that heavy. The breviary is significantly larger and heavier than a kindle or smartphone So why do many still use the books, even when they own I-phones with the app or Kindles?
