How to Pray the Daily Office

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic provides another opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the gift of the Daily Office, whereby Christians are able to pray liturgically "together" as the body of Christ, even though we may be physically separated. We hope this introduction and short guide from Fr. Doran Stambaugh can help you in your prayer life.

I'm working on saying the offices to create more regularity in my prayers. This video was very helpful.

[@caitlin8160]

I am an Indonesian Roman Catholic but I say both mp, ep, and try to say noon and compline. And this devotion has tremendous impact to my spiritual life.

@ContriteBlackCatholicYes I think the 1979 Episcopal BCP is very easy to follow. Now I create my own MP and EP, based from 1979 but adding materials from several BCPs on the internet. I use ACNA 2019 daily office lectionary.

You are such a warm and informative teacher. I really enjoyed learning from you during this video. Thank you

[@tomgartin]

Thank you!!! My parish is saying Morning Prayer on Sunday’s using the Eucharistic propers and I’m glad I can share this with them to explain better what we’re doing as we’re feasting on the word.

I would love to see more “Anglican Explained” kind of videos! Great simple teaching

[@aprilstarchild79]

Today I learned: I've been saying "collects" wrong. I've never heard anyone say it out loud!

[@jdanpey]

I have been searching for a video exactly like this. Thank you very much, be blessed!

[@exjwukmusicalescape9241]

Thank you I’m reading/praying through the 1662 page by page at the moment but nice to have a clear explanation of how it was intended for use.

[@ChrisMartin-pz3mp]

Thank you. This is exactly what I have been looking for An inspiring instruction on how to.

This is outstanding, Fr Doran. I passed it on via FB. Many folks could benefit from this.

This video was so cute and helpful! God be with you!

Learned about "The Daily Office" from reading the book "The Vow" by Ed Gungor. Great video. I didn't know what The Daily Office was.

[@cherylcarpenter8501]

Thank you so much! This video is a keeper!

[@samuellakestoneguitars5646]

Thank you for the explanation. I’m trying to push past a rather dry season I’ve experienced with prayer, so this seems like a really interesting way to go. Plus your friendliness convinced me! Thanks again 🙏🏽

[@grandmasgarden6402]

Okay....You gave me the information and invitation I needed to begin. Want to get this habit formed before we start Lent. Thank you and God bless you.

[@adoramus]

Father you should add mor stories like on Lord's prayer, Jesus prayer etc..
