I always get confused at this time of year… :confused:
We had the Sixth Sunday/week of ordinary time just before Lent. Therefore, this should be the Seventh Week of ordinary time, right?

But if you count backwards from the Sunday after Corpus Christi, marked as the Eleventh Sunday on my calendar, this would be the Eighth Week.

So, do I follow week 3 or week 4 in the Liturgy of the Hours?
 
According to my parish’s bulletin and www.universalis.com we are in week 8 of OT.

I pray the LOTH, and this was the hardest thing to get used to,
finding the right day, and what prayers you should be saying.🙂

Peace be with you on your journey!
 
This is indeed week 4 of the Psalter.

A couple of places you can check are the USCCB web site with the readings for the day (where it says that this is Monday in the 8th week of Ordinary Time) and divineoffice.org which says the same thing.

Thanks for the link.👍
I still want to know what happened to week 7:confused:

Maybe a week disappears based on where week 34 falls, and the Lent / Easter cycle is a good place to misplace it. 😉

I’ll have to investigate.
 
Yes, a week disappears if there are too many Weeks in OT before Advent. Someone on CAF here explained that to me. I was confused, too. 🙂

Today marks the start of the 8th week of Ordinary Tine, week 4 in the LOTH. Source of information: The St’ Joseph Guide for the LOTH for 2010. It can be ordered from the Catholic Book Publishing Company’

In my ordo it also says that Pope Benedict asks that today be observed as a Day of Prayer for the Church in China.
