QUESTION from Paul on April 6, 2004
noticed that for during the day there is only one antiphone given
especially during the holy seasons. How does work in relate to the
antiphons in the regular psalter. Feel free to use the date of my post as

Dear Paul: Concerning the one antiphon given for Tuesday of Holy Week (4/6) is repeated with each psalm. The index on page 1574 gives the page numbers for the sampling of the Office of Readings that volume contains. It is only a mere sampling to give you an idea of the richness of the Readings. There really is no why to correlate the Readings contained in that version of the Divine Office. The Index is organized according to Season and that is about it. You can choose the specific reading as you will. In order to truly pray the Office of Readings one would need to either by the 4-volume Set, or I think there might be a one volume edition that just as the Readings, or you can go to the Liturgy of the Hours Apostolate, to the Booklet link under the "Group Prayer" section. DO NOT go to the Universalis website. They do not use the approved version' The Liturgy of the Hours Apostolate give us the official and approved edition. This same site, Liturgy of the Hours Apostolate, will give you throughout the year the entire Divine Office I think. The booklet is arranged to create a paper booklet. There is a link with instructions on how to print out and collate the pages so that they appear in chronological order.
