Office of readings after Evening prayer Augustine Monday, February 7, 2005

Question:

I have a question about the office of readings after Evening prayer. I've been praying the Office of Readings, for the current day, after Evening prayer; since it can be said at any time of the day.

My question is this. On Friday night, after Evening Prayer, I pray the office of readings for Friday. Then comes Saturday night after evening prayer, if I want to pray Saturday's Office of Readings then I would be praying it after Evening prayer I for Sunday. Would this be permitted? Or to avoid this occurrence would it be best to pray the following day's Office of Readings?

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Augustine:

The Office of Readings for Saturday may be recited after Vespers on Saturday (Evening Prayer I, Sunday) or anytime on Saturday.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
