Note: this page has been updated to follow the scheme published by the Ordinariate in their series of video introductions which you can find at the bottom of this page. The suggestions on this page will allow you to use the ribbons in the right order through the book, especially for Mattins and Evensong. Where to put ribbonsĭivine Worship: Divine Office (Commonwealth Edition) has six ribbons, coloured red, green, yellow, maroon, violet and pink. And it doesn’t actually matter if you make a mistake: you’ve still prayed and read Scripture! If you do find you’ve got something wrong, just put the ribbons in the right place for next time. However, the ribbons are designed to make things easier as they guide you through the year. The descriptions below can sound complicated. Once you have become used to the simple Offices, you may feel ready for a little variety (see below). For Compline start at p421 and follow through the Office to p434, and then use the Anthem to Our Lady for the season.Īs you finish an Office, put the green ribbon ready at the start of the next one you will say. Use the green ribbon: start Prime at p397 and simply follow through the Office to the end of page 402. Use Prime in the morning (ideally before 11am) and Compline in the evening (ideally just before retiring). In that prayer, the words “our Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth” need to be replaced with “our Sovereign Lord, King Charles”. In the Commonwealth, these prayers are not said but the prayer headed “In the Commonwealth” is used instead. Text of the new prayers These replace the Prayer for the Queen’s Majesty and the Prayer for the Royal Family on pp382/3 and p424. However you pray the Office, there are new prayers following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the consequent accession of the new King, together with the creation of a new Prince of Wales. It’s for laypeople: clergy know what to do! Rather, this post is a potted précis of how to pray the Offices, either in a short form or in the Prayer Book tradition. This post doesn’t go into the history of what was included, or why that can come later or can be found elsewhere. The Commonwealth Edition is principally for use in the Ordinariates of Our Lady of Walsingham (UK) and Our Lady of the Southern Cross (Australia), although there are prayers which can be used in the Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter (USA and Canada) The Catholic Truth Society has published the eagerly-awaited Divine Worship : Daily Office (Commonwealth Edition).ĭivine Worship: Daily Office (Commonwealth Edition) contains Morning and Evening Prayer from the Anglican prayer book tradition, now approved for use in the Catholic Church through the Personal Ordinariates.
