Shorter Christian prayer

[RIC_L]

I recently purchased the book, "Shorter Christian Prayer. I am having some problems trying to figure out what week in the 4 week cycle I should be in.
The page printed in the book showing the cycle ends in 2005. I decided to just start in week 3, for no real eason just to get started as I figured any prayer is good prayer but I do want to be correct.
Thanks,

This is a good website to help you find the calendar for the Liturgy of the Hours which is where the "Shorter Christian Prayer is derived. And yes, tomorrow startw week II.

You need to just click on “Calendar” at the top of that site, and scroll down to see what week we are in.

Take the week of the season divide by 4 and the remainder gives the week of the Psalter (remainder 0 is week IV).

Today is the Sixth Sunday of Easter; 6 / 4 = 1 remainder 2; Psalter Week II.

General Instruction of the Liturgy of the Hours

1. The four-week cycle of the psalter is coordinated with the liturgical year in such a way that on the First Sunday of Advent, the First Sunday in Ordinary Time, the First Sunday of Lent, and Easter Sunday the cycle is always begun again with Week I (others being omitted when necessary).

After Pentecost, when the psalter cycle follows the series of weeks in Ordinary Time, it begins with the week indicated in the Proper of Seasons at the beginning of the appropriate week in Ordinary Time.

(Implicit in this instruction is the trivium that Lent actually begins with Psalter Week IV for Ash Wednesday and the days following until the First Sunday, which is Week I)

After that it is just math.
