Ordinary - Mass and the Major Hours



 The brothers of the Ordo Verbum Dei adhere to a unique prayer schedule. The two major hours of the day, Lauds and Vespers, contain readings or gospel passages which are integrated with the readings and/or gospel of each day's eucharistic liturgy. While the minor hours of the day keep a weekly rhythm which changes appropriately according to liturgical seasons, the texts of the mass and the major hours work their way through Holy Scripture in an orderly fashion.

Laymen who wish to accompany the monks of OVD in prayer are encouraged to do so by using the liturgical manuals found here at online monastery.

The ordinaries for each of these liturgies are found at the pages below.
