Hello,

I was praying through vespers and I noticed that some psalms around the end of a verse and beginning of another there are these double arrowhead marks. Does anybody know what these are for?

Thanks.

Could they be angle quotes (guillemets): « and » ?
 
May I ask which “St Joseph’s Guide”* that you use? I have always been very interested in the MD.

*I know that there isn’t a St Joseph’s Guide (that I know of) for the MD.😉
 
What I am asking is, is there a guide that says for (say) Monday OOR p.so and so, MP p. so and so, etc?

Hope this makes sense.:o

I doubt the MD would have any reference to “OOR” (Office of Readings). First of all that Office is known as Vigils or Matins in the Monastic world, especially the pre-VII monastic world; in that world it is the night office though it could be anticipated the previous evening. Secondly, the MD is the daytime hours only, so Vigils/Matins/OOR aren’t in it.

If you like, please quote a sample.

Certain languages use them instead of the English quotes for a quotation of speech.

I myself know of them primarily from Spanish and French, for example. I also notice, though, the wording “around the end of a verse and beginning of another.” If I’m reading that description correctly, I’m wondering what this punctuation is doing in those positions.
 
Hey everyone,

I was curious, is the Lancelot Andrewes Matins match up correctly with the psalms that would be prayed for Matins in 63 St. Michaels diurnal? I know LA Matins is the Anglican one with King James, but I’m asking if the psalms prayed are still the same for 63 Matins. Thank you.

Yes, the “Saints Will Arise” blog is a kind of one stop shop for using the Diurnal and it has helped me. Google it.
