Good evening,

I recently began using the book: Shorter Christian Prayer to pray the LOTH.

I am not sure how to use this book, and how to properly pray the hours…

It has an intro in the beginning, but I am still not clear on where to find certain concluding prayers, etc.

If you could please help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Peace,
Al
 
Try this:
  1. divineoffice.org/
  2. Buy St Joseph’s Guide (available for Christian Prayer, and the 4 vol LotH…not available for Shorter Christian Prayer, though–IIRC)
  3. Buy Divine Office for Dummies (I mean no disrepect by that–that’s the title :o )
 
That’s actually “Divine Office for Dodos”. There isn’t done in the “Dummies” series.

Divine Office for DODO’s is an excellent book to learn how to pray LOTH. I bought it and it is a must have resource, when learning to pray the Divine Office. The title is not insulting…DODO’s is an acronym for Disciple Of Divine Office.
Learning to pray the Liturgy of The Hours, or Divine Office can be a bit intimidating without this resource or someone to guide you along the way. If you have an iPhone you can download the Divine Office App for $20 and never have to worry about ribbon placement or what order the prayers follow. Its all laid out for you and you can pray along and sing hymns with the audio option ( included ) or without. When you consider the 4 volume set will run you about $200+ and Christian Prayer about $50 and Shorter Christian prayer about $25, the app makes sense and you can pray “the hours” wherever you are without toting the printed version along with you.

Yours in Christ !
 
Grace & Peace!

There’s also this site: universalis.com/

A menu on the left has links to the complete offices of the day.

iBreviary is free, and very good. 🙂
 
I forgot about iBreviary, even though I used it long before buying the D/O App. It is free, and your absolutely right in saying it is very good. Thanks!
