Hi all,
Finally got an Anglican Breviary from the library and am trying out 30 days of Compline to get my feet wet, as recommended at Anglican Breviary | Home.
I have a few questions. Maybe someone could field them. I know this is the simplest office...so I figure I better know what I'm doing here before going on.
This is all for private recitation for now.
1) At the opening, one not ordained says instead of "Pray, Sir, give me they blessing" "Pray, Lord, give me Thy blessing". Yes?
2) The Brief Lesson is invariable, always I Peter 5:8?
3) The Antiphon. B74, for instance, only has "Let my prayer." Where are these Antiphon texts found in full? Only the beginning of it is said at the beginning of the Psalms, and then the whole thing at the end?
4) How exactly do these abbreviations in the Brief Responds work? Where do I find the texts bolded below?
Br. R. Into thy hands, O Lord, * I commend my spirit. Into thy. V. For thou hast redeemed us, O Lord, thou God of truth. I commend. Glory be. Into thy.
5) After the Collect, what does one not in holy orders say? The closing versicles.
6) After the Triple Prayer, does Sacrosanctae still get followed by a Pater and Ave?
Thanks so much!
