Which version of the LOTH do you use?

[Tis_Bearself]

For those who pray LOTH, I just wondered if everyone uses the current version promulgated through the Church generally, or do some people use versions associated specifically with religious orders, or traditional versions in Latin?

 

[Fauken]

I use the 1962 version.

 

[tstadheim]

I use the 1962 version as well.

 

[UpUpAndAway]

Current version for the UK. Occasionally, current version for France.

 

[CTBcin]

Current version for the United States.

 

[Ira]

I pray both the United States version and the 1962 breviarium romanum in Latin.

I pray both the United States version and the 1962 breviarium romanum in Latin.

Does it take a lot of extra time praying two versions?

 

[Tis_Bearself]

For those who are praying the 1962 version or other version other than the current version for whatever country you’re in, is there any concern about not being “in sync” with the “public prayer of the Church”? I’m asking honestly, not trying to start anything. I have heard that the point of the prayer is to be praying communally so I just wondered if there was any worry about people praying different prayers; it would seem that there is communality in that everyone is sharing a communal intent to pray the Divine Office and besides there are already diffrerent versions for different countries as shown by the thread.

Yes it does but I am retired so time is something I have a lot of.

It does seem to put me into a sorta liturgical schizophrenia with the two distinct calendars.

It’s what the priests at my FSSP parish use so I feel fine with it.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

Thanks, I’d actually prefer to pray an old version were I to start doing it.

 

[yankeesouth]

I pray the Traditional using the Breviarium Meum app.

For what it’s worth, I usually use the US Christian Prayer in the current version. I also have a local abbey’s oblate edition and have been looking into the Little Office as options.
