Buying and praying the LotH?

[4givemeasinner]

I want to buy and pray the LotH. Two problems:

One: It is expenisve. I don’t have money to throw around and I know there are free online versions, but something bothers me about praying with my laptop.

Two: How exactly are the LotH prayed?

The Divine Office for Dodos by Madeline Pecora Nugent is a very good book to get started. Don’t let the name put you off. I used it to learn the basics but never got to the parts about non-ordinary time.

ETA: I have “Christian Prayer” which is a cheaper and more portable version than the 4 volume set. There’s also “Shorter Christian Prayer” but I don’t own that.

I am inclined to recommend the 4-volume version. The readings from the Office of Readings are a rich treasury. The great thing is that you don’t have to buy all volumes at once. I spread my purchase over the entire year. I started with the current volume; when it nearly ran out I bought the next, and so forth.

I looked on Amazon and each volume alone is around $30-35. That works out to just over ten bucks a month.

Its free and you never have to worry about how to do it. You can pray along with the audio or do it with your family without the audio, which is what my wife and I do. All of the daily prayers are up and ready to go. We use it daily.

They also have and iPhone an Android app for purchase, or you can just use the browser on your smartphone and not pay the purchase fee.

I bought the Christian Prayer book and never use it since I discovered this website.

Peace,
