Loved your podcast. I am a 20 year Secular Franciscan praying the Liturgy daily and now I am trying to sing the latin form. A huge thank you for your love of Liturgy of the Hours and for sharing your love with all of us🥰
I used to pray the Hours every day but fell away from it. This inspired me to try and get back to it. Also by the way, "Hey Paul pay Charlie more he is great."
Love that the Liturgy of the Hours is being promoted. I used to follow on the Laudate App but never realized that it could be chanted. Am now 68 and have a faint recall of chants as a child. I never made that connection. It is sad that something so glorious has been removed from our common memory. But God is good. In the last year, I’ve been part of a men’s group and we text each other greetings first thing in the morning. I share the daily Gospel acclamation, others some reflection or prayer. To me this simple act has impacted my faith. I’m now so excited about the Liturgy of the Hours…
Here’s a question; is it Charlie who divides the videos into chapters🤔 maybe the answer is apparent in this video🤣 good work, thank you! Makes it so easy to jump to parts I want to hear again.
Love this discussion! Very specific list of video times & all the corresponding topics 😃 in the Description box. Thank you Charlie! Thank you Paul! Thank you Fr. Nathaniel!
I so enjoy being with you 3 across the miles! Well prepared questions, Charlie! Good correction, Paul, on the chemistry of sparkling water! This conversation is helpful. I do find just listening to the Hours is calming after a busy day. Is that okay?
I’ve wondered the same. After I’ve finished the actual chant, I play it as music sometimes. Then wondering if it’s disrespectful or inappropriate to ‘enjoy’ listening to these folks singing.
At Sacred Heart Parish in Salisbury NC, we sing vespers on the Sundays during Lent. Also, to what depth the Catholic worship and prayers was practiced in one’s own family will affect it. My grandmother was a 3rd order Carmelite and she prayed the Divine Office. So I was no stranger to the Divine Office.
Thank you for this wonderful gift ye are offering the church. I have been able to get back to a life of prayer through this beautiful chanted God-gift of the Liturgy of the Hours you make available. May God bless ye and all who tune into this prayer from all over - the katholikon. By the way I have just realized that what I said above about tuning into liturgy is a neat metaphor for what we do celebrating on earth the liturgy - we tune into the heavenly Divine Liturgy - however feebly we manage to do this the heavenly liturgy we've tuned into lifts us to the very throne of God.
Great conversation, please keep up the good work, it is wonderful to see how Liturgy of the hours is overtaking us laity all over the world, especially in the singing form!
A blessed joyful happy Solemnity of the Ascension of our Lord to you Paul, Julia and Baby Girl 🌹 Rose, to Fr Nath, to Nina and to your entire Sing the Hour & Chant & Rants ministry and a warm welcome to Charlie ❤ 🕊 ❤️ My ❤️ heart is truly overflowing with great joy with all the authentic profound questions and answers that make us love more & more & lots & lots to chant the Liturgy of the Hours 🎶 🎵 so Holy Spirit f🎉illed are all the discussions, teachings, good intention advise to have an awesome & great relationship with our Maker, our Creator, Lover of Life, Author of Life and Author of our Baptism and our Wounded Healer 🕊 ❤️ 🕊 whom we can not honor, praise and glorify enough 😔 that at least through singing & chanting we can truly feel His Holy Presence ❤️ cheers to your wife Julia for the encouragement to share this to all of us who are always hungry to know more & learn more & we are all forever grateful & thankful from the bottom of our 💕 hearts 🕊 Everything Blessings to us all ❤We dearly love you all 🕊 Keep up the good painstaking work that you all do 👍 👌
And here’s a suggestion; let your followers submit photos/videos for the background. Appropriate for the Liturgical season… from around the world🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇹🇦🇺🇵🇭🇳🇿
Loved this convo! My top question is: how would one start bringing corporate praying of Liturgy of the Hours in our parish? And a layperson can lead it if the priest isn’t available right?
Question: will you please expand on learning hymn tunes? Question 2: have any of you sung the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary? Veronica Brandt has done tutorials on doing so for most seasons now. She adapted it from a Frnch pdf on Musica Sacra. What do you think about it? Question 3. What would be the resources for singing any or all parts of the Liturgy of the Hours in Spanish?
another thing about why the Divine Office is unheard of is that the Little Office has been gutted so the simple version that was more popular for lay people and 3rd orders is basically in disuse. I have a copy of the old little office but its weird for me using both cause the little office is actually bigger than the reformed breviary.
Just start. You don't need microphones, instruments, musical training, vestments, incense, candles, or anything except two people (or one if two can't be found).
Would you please consider uploading the Sing the Liturgy videos earlier? I live in New Zealand and the upload time offsets my use time of them quite significantly.
Clericalism and USCCB copyright control of the printed forms of Liturgy of Hours. Even decades after Vatican II called for Laity participation - clericalism believed that laity praying the hours would dilute the efficacy of the prayer. I pre-date Ibrevary in my efforts. The open hostility was palpable and even confrontational. Liturgy of the Hours is Prolongation of the Eucharist!
Paul -- it is Liturgy. It is a sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving - Liturgy do a deep dive on the difference between prayer, contemplation, Lectio Divina and Liturgy…
You really should have asked the question, "Must I chant or sing the hours?" The answer is no, it's encouraged but you don't have to. You use the word "pray" throughout the video, you should explain what that does and does not mean. Spoken LotH is okay. GILH 103 "Therefore, though a psalm may be recited without being sung even by an individual in silence, its musical character should not be overlooked." GILH 113 "Even when the Liturgy of the Hours is not sung ..."

We are in community here. Meeting a need culturally, spiritually, and personally
Was taught about LOH in RCIA.
That's good to hear!

Thank you Paul!
Thank you Fr. Nathaniel!
Thank you for bringing this hidden treasure into the light
Paul, would you look at offering a virtual retreat one day for those of us who don't live in the US?
Good Rant!
Really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the great questions, Charley.
I love the many layers and richness of the Catholic Church. Thank you for Sing The Hours. It is how I begin every day. Praise God. ❤✝️❤️
God bless you !

Shout out to the Ascension Thursday Masses in America (add to list E. coast of FL)
Maybe take The Hours to the streets!!! Like the Catholic men are doing with the Rosary in various countries. Unconventional, but not impossible.
Thank you!
Exactly his first episode and he is challenging you!😂😂😂

The Ordinariate Divine Office still prays through the psalms once a month, like you mentioned.
Fantastic as always! Such great information.
Thank you so much for this extra w re Sing the Hours!
HOO is a radical, which only really exists in the atmosphere. - A fellow chemist and new subscriber. :)
Thank you 🙏

when i was growing up, the sisters of mercy, my teachers told me they sung the little office of the bvm. because the other was for the priests. 1950's

Is there a more beautiful option than the "Christian Prayer" book?
I like the Mundelein Psalter.

Our participation began In Our Baptism, Confirmation and The Eucharist that is our foundation our Union with Christ.

Nobody has a much better grasp of what this podcast should be about than H2Host or Fr Priest.
You should pay him more.
made the same exact face as Fr. Nate 😭
Chanter or cantor?
