Question: Why are the same morning prayers repeated every day in Easter Weeks 2 to 7 and same evening prayers repeated in Easter Weeks 2 to 6? Example: Monday evening prayer - Hebrews 8:8b-3a each Monday Easter Week 2 to 6. |

| Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r)
Dear Brian: I think you mean the Readings, not the prayers. Hebrews 8:8b-3a is the Reading (not the prayer) each Monday. The Church chooses for the Divine Office those prayers, readings, hymns, etc. pertinent to the time of year, day, and time of day. Here the Church is emphsizing the messages of those Readings repeated on each particular day of the week for the weeks of the Easter Season. This shows how important we should learn the messages of those Scriptures. God Bless,
