Dawn & Dusk Antiphons

The purpose of this book is to assist folks who wish to pray the Liturgy of the Hours with their own bible for the full liturgical year: Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time. For each psalm or canticle, recite the antiphon, pray the psalm or canticle, pray the doxology (Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.), and repeat the antiphon. The antiphon has traditionally been a verse chosen from that psalm or canticle. Most of these antiphons for Ordinary Time are Sayings of Jesus drawn from Sunday Gospel readings: In the Sunday Lectionary, the Old Testament reading has a connection with the Gospel reading, and the Responsorial Psalm is a response to the Old Testament reading. This means that on any given Sunday there is a relationship between the Gospel reading and the Psalm. The antiphons were chosen based on this relationship. The Antiphons for the Seasons of the Year can give a long view of faith seeking understanding of the Abba, the Spirit, and the person of Jesus the Christ. See Dawn & Dusk Antiphons for Ordinary Time for an abridged version for only Ordinary Time.
