Psalter Cycle Saved!

Reading Cycle Saved!

Reading Length Saved!

Reading Audio Saved!

Canticle Rotation Saved!

Advanced Settings

Visual Theme Saved!

Use light mode or dark mode, or default to your computer's setting for light or dark mode

Substitute Sunday/Holy Day (Eucharistic) Lectionary Saved!

On Sundays and major holy days, do you want to use the standard Daily Office readings or substitute the 3-year Sunday/Holy Day cycle? When the Daily Office is used for the principal service of a church, the prayer book instructs you to replace the Daily Office readings with the three year cycle of Sunday and Holy Day readings. This is generally done only in churches and not when using the Daily Office as a personal devotion at home.

Confession Intro Length Saved!

Use either the short or long exhortation before the confession.

Absolution Style Saved!

After the confession, read an absolution suitable for a priest or a prayer suitable for a deacon or lay person.

Morning Prayer Invitatory Saved!

Open with the Venite (Psalm 95) always (traditional), have a special celebratory invitatory on Sundays and feasts (Pascha Nostrum during Eastertide or Jubilate/Psalm 100 otherwise), or rotate between the normal and celebratory invitatory each day. Regardless of which setting you choose, the Pascha Nostrum is always used during the first week of Easter, and the invitatory will never be the same as one of the day's appointed psalms.

Reading Headings Saved!

Show or hide headings from the English Standard Version of the Bible in scripture readings

Language Style for Prayers Saved!

Traditional and contemporary language options are available for the Kyrie (Lord have mercy) and the Lord's Prayer

National Holiday Collects Saved!

Show country-specific commemorations for the United States, Canada, or both.

Evening Prayer Suffrages Saved!

Choose which set of short prayers to be used each evening

Additional Collects Saved!

Use a different collect for each day of the week, or use the same two collects (from the classic prayer books) each day.

Prayers in the Time of An Election Saved!

Include election related collects until the U.S. General election. (Automatically disabled if only Canadian feasts are selected).

Prayers in the Time of Pandemic Saved!

Include a rotating set of collects for the duration of this pandemic

Great Litany at Morning Prayer Saved!

Include the Great Litany after the collects at Morning Prayer

Great Litany at Evening Prayer Saved!

Include the Great Litany after the collects at Evening Prayer

General Thanksgiving Saved!

Pray the General Thanksgiving at the end of Morning and Evening Prayer

Prayer of St. John Chrysostom Saved!

Pray the Prayer of St. John Chrysostom at the end of Morning and Evening Prayer. This prayer is suitable when praying in a group.

The Grace Saved!

Rotate each day through the three provided conclusions, or always use the same one from the classic prayer books.

Advent "O" Antiphons Saved!

The traditional "O" Antiphons are used before and after the first canticle in Evening Prayer during the last eight days of Advent. You can use literal translations of the original Latin, or the familiar paraphrases used in the hymn "O Come, O Come Emmanuel"

Psalm 45

Eructavit cor meum

1 My heart overflows with a noble song;*

I will sing my words to the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2 You are fairer than the children of men;*

full of grace are your lips, because God has blessed you for ever.

3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, most mighty one,*

according to your honor and majesty.

4 In your majesty be victorious; ride out for the sake of truth, to bear witness to righteousness,*

and your right hand shall show you marvelous things.

5 Your arrows are very sharp in the heart of the King's enemies,*

and the peoples shall be subdued under you.

6 Your throne, O God, endures for ever;*

the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter.

7 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity;*

therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

8 All your garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia;*

out of the ivory palaces, stringed instruments have made you glad.

9 Kings' daughters are among your honorable women;*

at your right hand stands the queen in a vesture of gold, wrought with many colors.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider; incline your ear;*

forget your own people, and your father's house.

11 So shall the King have pleasure in your beauty;*

since he is your Lord, honor him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall bring you gifts;*

the rich also among the peoples shall seek your favor.

13 The King's daughter is all glorious within the palace;*

her clothing is of wrought gold.

14 She shall be brought to the king in embroidered raiment;*

the virgins who are her companions shall bring her to you.

15 With joy and gladness shall they bring her,*

and shall enter into the King's palace.

16 Instead of your fathers, you shall have sons,*

whom you shall make princes in all the land.

17 I will make your Name to be remembered from one generation to another;*

therefore the peoples shall praise you, world without end.
