Hello all
I posted this to the Ask and Apologist board rather hastily the other day, and I probably should have come here with it first.
I was enrolled in the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel while at the National Scout Jamboree this year. Upon my return, I began praying the Little Office, as prescribed by the Sabbatine Privilege.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Scapular, the Virgin Mary promised that “Whosoever dies wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.” Our Lady’s promise is subject to three conditions, however–Continuously wear the scapular, Observe chastity according to one’s station in life (married, single, etc.), and recite daily the Little Office (there are some options to that, but the only other one that doesn’t require the permission of a priest is abstain from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays)
I found the Little Office at medjugorje.org/lofficep.htm
and found it to be a very beautiful devotion that has some very thought-provoking theological structure as well as beautiful praise of God and his handmaid. The Little Office as found at the Medjugorje website had Morning and Evening prayers.
However, I found another place (that I don’t remember right off) that said the Little Office was divided into Morning, Midday, Evening, and Night. Am I praying the “correct” Little Office, or do I have to find another source?
Thank you all in advance.
