For a long time now I have been a prime & compline guy. Matins & lauds are two long to start my Morning with. So settled on prime, the office monks would have prayed before starting their days labors. I love end my evening with compline it’s prayers especially in a pre 1962 Breviary are exactly what i need to end my day. On Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday I due pray lauds my the office of the BVM. I have always loved praying the little office to our lady on Saturday and decided that giving Her two other days of the week was worth my time.

Just start today. And at the end of your office pray the litany to of the BVM.

That is a brilliant technique. I usually pray one Psalm in the morning to end my morning prayers and another Psalm at night to end my evening prayers. This allows me to read through all the Psalms about three times in a year. But I really like this idea and may give it a try. Thank you.

You're welcome! I always invite everyone to try it for at least one month. It's amazing how the Psalms will deepen your prayer. God bless you and your endeavors in the spiritual life!
