WHICH TAKES PRECEDENCE
FRIDAY OR A
FEAST DAY OR A SOLEMNITY?

Friday 9th November 2007-** Feast** of
The Dedication of The Lateran Basilica

I am unable to answer the above question and have started a thread in the Liturgy and Sacraments Forum:

http://forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?p=2937313#post2937313

…and am hoping someone will know what The Church does ordain and post the answer. Of course if the Feast (or a Solemenity) takes precedence than Friday penance would be suspended for this Friday 9th. November 2007.
The other alternative would be to contact your diocesan offices who should be able to provide a definite answer.
If I can perchance find the official Church position on the internet, I will post it into the above thread.

Sunday Obligation
Catholic Catechism: 1193 Sunday, the “Lord’s Day,” is the principal day for the celebration of the Eucharist because it is the day of the Resurrection. It is the pre-eminent day of the liturgical assembly, the day of the Christian family, and the day of joy and rest from work. Sunday is “the foundation and kernel of the whole liturgical year”. (SC106)

Our Sunday Obligation in short**:** One of the precepts of the Church is to keep holy the day of the Lord’s Resurrection; to worship God by participating in Mass every Sunday and to avoid those activities that would hinder renewal of soul and body, for example, needless work and business activities, unnecessary shopping, and so forth.

Lectio Divina
http://www.ocarm.org/images/2005/051101.jpg

"Lectio divina is an authentic source of Christian spirituality recommended by our Rule. We therefore practice it every day, so that we may develop a deep and genuine love for it, and so that we may grow in the surpassing knowledge of Christ. In this way we shall put into practice the Apostle Paul’s commandment, which is mentioned in our Rule: “Let the sword of the spirit, the Word of God, live abundantly in your mouth and in your hearts; and whatever you must do, do it in the name of the Lord.”

Because into a soul that plots evil, wisdom enters not,
nor dwells she in a body under debt of sin.
For the holy Spirit of discipline flees deceit
and withdraws from senseless counsels;
and when injustice occurs it is rebuked.
For wisdom is a kindly spirit
Responsorial Psalm
Where can I go from your spirit?
From your presence where can I flee
Gospel
If your brother sins, rebuke him;
and if he repents, forgive him.

http://www.universalis.com/100/liturgy-structure.htm

**The structure **
**of **
the Liturgy

Two aspects of the Liturgy of the Hours were established very early on - the consecration of every hour to God.
Further really interesting comments on above link

Lauds Also known as Morning Prayer…** It is meant to be said first thing in the morning -** for further reading go to above link.
Terce (around 9am, the 3rd hr.in Roman reckoning)
Sext (around noon, the 6th hr.in Roman reckoning)
None (around 3pm, the 9th hr.in Roman reckoning) These hours, collectively known as the **“Little Hours” **(Readings only currently available). The modern revision of the Liturgy of the Hours allows for one to recite either one single “Daytime Prayer”, which one can choose to be Terce or Sext or None according to the time of day that the recitation takes place.

Vespers Also known as Evening Prayer This Hour takes us from the bustle of the day to the calm of evening.

Sundays and important feasts are considered to start the night before and have so-called “First Vespers” (or Evning Prayer 1 of the Feast) on that night: This refinement is built into this site (used for the purposes of this thread).

Compline Also known as Night Prayer, (sometimes combined into the public celebration of Vespers). It is the last prayer of the day, and sums up all that went before, as we examine our consciences and offer the actions of the day to God. Compline is often said immediately before retiring to bed.

The Office of Readings This is a splendid innovation of the latest reforms, a development of the* old office of Matins*. Unlike the other Hours, it can be said at any time of day at all, …thw second reading, which is not biblical but is taken from the earliest centuries of the Church, or from old homilies whose very authors have been forgotten, or from the writings or biographies of the saints. It is an immense task to fill this site with second readings, and will take a year or more so please be patient.

The Invitatory Psalm The Invitatory Psalm acts as a kind of introduction to the entire Divine Office for the day. When you say it therefore depends on which hour you recite first. If you start with Lauds, say it at the beginning of Lauds; if you start with the Office of Readings (which, you will recall, can be recited at any time of the day), then say the invitatory psalm at the beginning of the Office of Readings. If all that you recite in the day is Vespers, then say the invitatory psalm at the beginning of Vespers. This site lets you view versions of Lauds and the Office of Readings both with and without the invitatory psalm.
What has happened to Matins?

Matins was originally the office of Vigils, prayer offered in the middle of the night, but understandable human weakness moved it to the early morning; nevertheless, it retained its character of a night prayer, even being subdivided into between one and three parts called “nocturns”.

While such an office is reasonably suited to religious orders, who can order their day round their prayer,* it is less well adapted to people who are living in the world,* for whom first thing in the morning may not necessarily be the best time to study and meditate in depth.

Accordingly, the latest reforms have transformed Matins into the Office of Readings and removed its specifically nocturnal character. It has, instead, the most meditative psalms and those that narrate the course of salvation history; and it can be said at any hour of the day or night.

What has happened to Prime?
Click to expand...
It has been abolished.
It was, in any case, a relatively recent innovation, being introduced after the other hours had already been established. The manner of its introduction was this:

The really fascinating and amusing story concerning Prime can be read on the link at the beginning of this thread.

FRIDAY PENANCE

Is Friday Penance Required
catholic.com/thisrock/2005/0501bt.asp
USA only - check your parish or diocesan offices
for local norms.
"Friday should be in each week
something of what Lent is in the entire year.

“give first place to abstinence from flesh meat”… This was an exhortation and as such did not establish a legal obligation…abstinence continued to be a recommended practice for the observance of Friday …not a legally binding one.

“a time when those who seek perfection will be mindful of their personal sins and the sins of mankind, which they are called upon to help expiate in union with Christ crucified.”
