Old Rite Divine Office

"And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."

— Apocalypse 22:1-2

Prayer Instruction

Instructions:

Just as you would add your prayer intentions before praying the Rosary, add your prayer intentions before praying the Divine Office.
For compline you will either do an examination of conscience or pray the "Our Father."
Traditionally the "Our Father" is said in partial silence, which is why you'll hear a long silence at the beginning of the "Our Father" in three different spots during the hours.
