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 90

Domine, refugium

1 Lord, you have been our refuge*

from one generation to another.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or the earth and the world were made,*

you are God from everlasting, and world without end.

3 You turn man back to the dust;*

you say, "Return, O children of men."

4 For a thousand years in your sight are as yesterday,*

even as a day that is past.

5 You scatter them as a night-watch that comes quickly to an end;*

they are even as a dream and fade away.

6 They are like the grass, which in the morning is green,*

but in the evening is dried up and withered.

7 For we consume away in your displeasure*

and are afraid at your wrathful indignation.

8 You have set our misdeeds before you,*

and our secret sins in the light of your countenance.

9 For when you are angry, all our days are gone;*

we bring our years to an end, as a tale that is told.

10 The days of our life are seventy years, and though some be so strong that they come to eighty years,*

yet is their span but labor and sorrow; so soon it passes away, and we are gone.

11 But who regards the power of your wrath,*

and who considers the fierceness of your anger?

12 So teach us to number our days,*

that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

13 Turn again, O Lord, and tarry not;*

be gracious unto your servants.

14 O satisfy us with your mercy in the morning;*

so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.

15 Comfort us again, according to the measure of the days that you have afflicted us,*

and for the years in which we have suffered adversity.

16 Show your servants your work*

and their children your glory.

17 And may the grace of the Lord our God be upon us;*

prosper the work of our hands; O prosper our handiwork.
