I see you did post where Peter was praying at the hour of prayer. There may be other brief mentions in Scripture - I'm really not sure - but that's the one I noticed when reading.
Ah, ok, I see.This prayer is more a model than a quote each time. "After this manner therefore pray thee"... daily needs, forgiveness of sins, etc. Just wanted to be clear on what I meant.
Vespers, 2nd Sunday of Epiphany; Redeemer Lutheran Church (LCMS) Ft. Wayne Indianna, and a picture of the Chancel:
There are some Eastern Orthodox Christians who use a prayer rule that consolidates many of the prayers into morning, afternoon and evening. Some only do morning and evening. Others do more of an abbreviated prayer of the hours at regular times, and others yet do a reader's version of the hours in their entirety.In the Anglican tradition, the daily offices consist primarily of Morning and Evening Prayer (or song). In one way, I appreciate what Cranmer did by consolidating the offices into two roughly similar times of prayer (Morning Prayer is a bit longer). I think his approach had the lay-man in mind and was an attempt to get laymen praying in more of a monastic manner. There are breviaries floating around that also include offices of Noon Prayer and Compline, but it is rare to see an Anglican praying the traditional monastic hours as seven times of prayer.
As to the suggestion by the Baptist poster that this could be boringly repetitious, that is possible for many. However, the services do make some attempt to provide variety by offering alternative canticles and psalms and a variety of collects to choose from. Also, the Scripture readings and portion of the Psalter vary day by day as one works through the lectionary. And for the more Anglo-Catholic minded Anglican, there are many 'black letter' commemorations scattered throughout the church calendar.
