| Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM
Dear David: The "Canonical" hour for Lauds is 6am and for Vespers is 6pm. Although these specific times are not necessary, the office does need to be said as near as possible to these canonical hours. One Hour should not intrude into the time frame that really belongs to another Hour In the Rule of St. Michael we give a range for our secular members: Vigils = 2:00-4:00 AM (can be said anytime) God Bless, |
