ORDO: Morning/Evening

(What week of the liturgical year is it? A monthly calendar is provided here [LINK]; unfortunately, you may have to page through it if I have not updated the link recently.)

(Note that, unfortunately, those who presume to claim copyright on the Word of God, finally caught up with the website previously posting the full Grail psalter and it is no longer available. Therefore links to the psalms from this and other pages do not work. Yes, I am aware of the distinction between "copyrighting" the original text which, being several thousand years old, is definitely in the public domain, and copyrighting a modern translation. The latter still seems to me to violate the spirit in which God gave us the scriptures. You don't agree? Fine. That's my position and I'm sticking to it.)

OPENING DIALOGUE

O God, come to my assistance.
. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be ....
