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 72

Deus, judicium

1 Give the King your judgments, O God,*

and your righteousness to the King's son.

2 Then shall he judge your people with righteousness*

and defend the poor with justice.

3 The mountains also shall bring peace,*

and the little hills righteousness to the people.

4 He shall vindicate the poor among the people,*

defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrongdoer.

5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure,*

from one generation to another.

6 He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass,*

even as showers that water the earth.

7 In his time shall the righteous flourish,*

even an abundance of peace, so long as the moon endures.

8 His dominion shall be also from one sea to the other,*

and from the river unto the world's end.

9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before him;*

his enemies shall lick the dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall give presents;*

the kings of Arabia and Seba shall bring gifts.

11 All kings shall fall down before him;*

all nations shall do him service.

12 For he shall deliver the poor when he cries,*

the needy also, and the one that has no helper.

13 He shall be favorable to the lowly and needy,*

and shall preserve the lives of the poor.

14 He shall deliver them from falsehood and wrong,*

and dear shall their blood be in his sight.

15 Long may he live! And unto him shall be given the gold of Arabia;*

prayer shall ever be made unto him, and daily shall he be blessed.

16 There shall be an abundance of grain on the earth, thick upon the hilltops;*

its fruit shall flourish like Lebanon, its grain like the grass upon the earth.

17 His Name shall endure for ever; his Name shall remain as long as the sun.*

All the nations shall be blessed through him and shall call him blessed.

18 Blessed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel,*

who alone does wondrous things;

19 And blessed be the Name of his majesty for ever;*

and all the earth shall be filled with his majesty. Amen, Amen.
