Posted on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, or the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the Roman Rite, and in solidarity with the call of Catholic Monitor to: “Say a Hail Mary to Our Lady of Fatima every day for the general intention of the conversion of Pope Francis and that the courage of St. Paul be given to the dubia Cardinals.” Let us pray:

Lord Jesus Christ, Who made a sinful man the rock of Your Church, we beseech You for the conversion of his successor, Francis. If he has erred, enlighten him; if he has strayed, correct him; if he has fallen, restore him. Confirm him in grace and truth, and confirm us through him, that as one flock under one shepherd we may glorify the Father with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and in eternity. Amen. (From Scriptorium)

Hail Mary, full of grace…

Así como pudiste aparecer en el Tepeyac y decirnos: “Soy la siempre Virgen María, Madre del verdadero Dios”, alcánzanos de tu Divino Hijo la conservación de la Fe.

  • [N.B.1, The most interesting new part of the Liturgy of the Hours in the Ordinary Form is the Office of Readings, which Universalis rightly calls “magnificent”. It contains, in addition to the Psalms and a reading from Sacred Scripture, various readings from the Saints and Doctors of the Church.]
  • A list and review of apps with the Liturgy of the Hours is available at Catholic Apptitude. AppCrawlr has a list of similar Android apps and iOS apps, of which iBreviary and Laudate are free.

It may be accessed through PC or through mobile devices. The website also includes a section named Santa Missa, which contains the daily text of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
  • [N.B.2, Please note that not all of the historical forms of the Divine Office contained at Divinum Officium would fulfill the canonical obligation of clergy and religious, although we submit that they would be of spiritual and devotional aid to all Catholics. Please inquire with competent authority on which form would validly constitute the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.]
  • The Traditional Divine Office is also made available for mobile devices through the following Android apps by the developer Lux Aeterna:  1962 Divine Office Breviary, 1962 Divine Office Breviary V2, and 1962 Missal and Breviary.
