Liturgy of the Hours for Laity

[drforjc]

For example, the Common of Priests is used for St. Patrick

Small correction: St. Patrick’s feast always falls in lent, so you would pray the daily Office with the following modifications:

1. During privileged seasons, if it is desired to celebrate the office of a saint on a day assigned to his or her memorial:

a. in the office of readings, after the patristic reading (with its responsory) from the Proper of Seasons, a proper reading about the saint (with its responsory) may follow, with the concluding prayer of the saint;

b. at morning prayer and evening prayer, the ending of the concluding prayer may be omitted and the saint’s antiphon (from the proper or common) and prayer may be added.

Some questions
A)
In the app there is something called

1. Commons
   2.Office of Readings
   What are they?

B)
For the Morning Prayer for Sunday 5 March
It starts with the Invitatory
Then 4 Psalms
Then 2 Hymns
Then Psalmsody
Then Reading
Then Responsory
Then Gospel Canticle
Then Intercessions
Then Lord’s Prayer
Then Concluding Prayer
Then Dismissal

Are all of those included in the Morning Prayer or are there choices to be made on which Psalm or Hymn etc are prayed?

Commons are psalms, prayers, etc., shared by various types of saints’ offices and sometimes replace the Psalter.

The office of readings was formerly Matins (during the night).

Except when the Invitatory is used, each Hour begins with the versicle “God, come to my assistance. Lord, make haste to help me” (Ps 69/70 v.2), and is followed by a hymn.

1. The invitatory is placed at the beginning of the whole sequence of the day’s prayer, that is, it precedes either morning prayer or the office of readings, whichever of these liturgical rites begins the day. The invitatory psalm with its antiphon may be omitted, however, when the invitatory is the prelude to morning prayer.
