I pray the morning and evening and the night prayer. Thanks yo IBreviary I just use that.

Beautiful explanation!
I play Sing the Hours in the mornings on my way to work.
I love the Liturgy of the Hours. The prayers are in accordance with the daily readings. 🙏✝️

I have met Fr. John Brancich @ the Saint Stanislaus chapel in Nashua NH numerous times. Out of the FSSP priests there, I always preferred his approach. He is clear and well balanced. Definitely a priest one could go for confession, if one is timid about approaching a priest. He's not one to slam your sins like a big fish on top of your head.

Thanks for answering this question. I've wondered what Vespers was, but haven't had a chance to go to one. Also, I love the Virgin Mary "Gadsden" flag in the backgorund!

I was hoping for something more specific on how to pray Vesper.
I have the daily prayer missal and the pages are written on a white board near the choir seats.
At least one priest, but usually two, prays one part and someone else sings the responses.
I follow along with whichever priest is sitting in front of me on my side of the pews; be it either the leader or the responder.
I am just guessing on how to do it.
Am I supposed to only follow the responder like in Mass?
Do I pray both parts?

The catechism says there is no such thing as an ex-Catholic.
So we are either a good Catholic or a bad Catholic.

I’ve have been a good Catholic for 6 years after being a bad Catholic for 40 years.
