![]() I wonder if such people are included in the following description? A lot of people prefer simplicity over variety, and an unchanging daily routine over the disruption caused by special days. When I'm using a more complete edition of The Liturgy of the Hours, on some special days I have to flip back and forth between up to five different sections, sometimes for the sake of one sentence of text! I can't see the point. And these special days don't have as many options within them as the larger editions. Some shorter editions do have solemnities and some of the feasts. And it's those special days that really differentiate the shorter editions from the larger ones. I would call them "simpler but complete" editions that don't include as many options for special days such as solemnities, feasts and memorials. Nor are they "abbreviated" versions of the Liturgy of the Hours, as some have written, which seems to imply that they are lacking content and are therefore inferior to larger volumes. I would not dismiss these shorter editions as only for beginners, or as merely an introduction to the Liturgy of the Hours which will help you eventually make the transition to the "real thing" as some have claimed. These "shorter" editions contain all you need to continue the morning and evening offering of worship, and the Lord will "meet with you" and "speak there to you." Today the holy priesthood is comprised of all baptized believers. and the temple duties of the priests came to an end. The Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D. The Israelites could also pray at those times wherever they were, in union with those offerings. This morning and evening offering was made by the priests every day.

One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer in the evening Īnd with the first lamb a tenth measure of fine flour mingled with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a libation.Īnd the other lamb you shall offer in the evening, and shall offer with it a cereal offering and its libation, as in the morning, for a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to the LORD. Now this is what you shall offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.
