The Morning and Evening Offices should never be allowed to pass without the Superior saying the Lord’s Prayer in its place at the end so that all may hear it, on account of the thorns of scandal which are apt to spring up. Thus those who hear it, being warned by the covenant which they make in that prayer when they say, “Forgive us as we forgive,” may cleanse themselves of faults against that covenant. But at the other Offices let the last part only of that prayer be said aloud, so that all may answer, “But deliver us from evil.” CHAPTER 14 How the Night Office Is to Be Said on the Feasts of the Saints Feb. 17—June 18—Oct. 18 On the feasts of Saints and on all festivals let the Office be performed as we have prescribed for Sundays, except that the Psalms, the antiphons and the lessons belonging to that particular day are to be said. Their number, however, shall remain as we have specified above. CHAPTER 15 At What Times “Alleluia” Is to Be Said Feb. 18—June 19—Oct. 19 From holy Easter until Pentecost without interruption let “Alleluia” be said both in the Psalms and in the responsories. From Pentecost to the beginning of Lent let it be said every night with the last six Psalms of the Night Office only. On every Sunday, however, outside of Lent, the canticles, the Morning Office, Prime, Terce, Sext and None shall be said with “Alleluia,” but Vespers with antiphons. The responsories are never to be said with “Alleluia” except from Easter to Pentecost. CHAPTER 16 How the Work of God Is to Be Performed During the Day Feb. 19—June 20—Oct. 20 “Seven times in the day,” says the Prophet, “I have rendered praise to You.” Now that sacred number of seven will be fulfilled by us if we perform the Offices of our service at the time of the Morning Office, of Prime, of Terce, of Sext, of None, of Vespers and of Compline, since it was of these day Hours that he said, “Seven times in the day I have rendered praise to You.” For as to the Night Office the same Prophet says, “In the middle of the night I arose to glorify You.” Let us therefore bring our tribute of praise to our Creator “for the judgments of His justice” at these times: the Morning Office, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline; and in the night let us arise to glorify Him. CHAPTER 17 How Many Psalms Are to Be Said at These Hours Feb. 20—June 21—Oct. 21 We have already arranged the order of the psalmody for the Night and Morning Offices; let us now provide for the remaining Hours.
