As always I apologize if I’m posting this in the wrong spot but I’m new and still trying to get a feel for this site. My question is this… I have prayed Christian Prayer ( Liturgy of the hours ) for about 10 years now and have always done Lauds- Vespers- and Compline. I have those over the last decade down with no problems. Lately I have been getting into the office of readings but I don’t feel I am doing it correctly it feels like something is missing. Unlike morning or evening prayers there are no instruction in the book and the suplimentary from St. Joseph books gives the day ie. Wensday week 1 then a scriptual reading and a non-scriptual reading. I know from online sources there should be resposories in there which are not in the Christian prayer book and there should be a closing prayer which I can’t seem to find either. Any advice on how to do the office of readings in Christian prayer would be MUCH appreciated !! God Bless. 🙂

Unfortunately, Christian Prayer is ill-suited for the Office of Readings as the material there is really just a sampling. I would day, don’t even try. Instead, invest in the four-volume set; that will give you the complete one-year cycle of Scriptural Readings and the complete non-Scriptural reading for every day of the year.

Or you can use on-line apps with a tablet if you just want to supplement your Christian Prayer. However I always feel a paper books still more suited and conducive to prayer than any electronic device.
 
See Divine Office, click the tab for Office of Readings [or whatever prayer you want] . It also offers an audio for each prayer.
