Liturgy of the Hours - Problem Solved?

David J. Ring, Jr.

This resource would greatly help the already published four book Liturgy of the Hours:
https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-book-requests/posts/yearly-guide-for-liturgy-of-the-hours-loth

St. Joseph Guide for the Liturgy of the Hours (Yearly) ISBN: 9781953152367 Handy guide that facilitates use of THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS (exactly as the one Logos/Verbum has by providing clear, accurate hyperlinks for each day of the period specified. This will make the work already done on LOTH be worthwhile.

LOTH users would purchase a yearly "book" from Logos/Verbum and (hopefully) Logos could do it's magic to eliminate ribbons and volume shuffling.  I bet if this was done, Logos would sell many orders of LOTH because praying the Hours would be very easy.

It's a whole different publisher than the publisher who publishes LOTH - where copyright and distribution issues exist.

Here's the website for this publication https://catholicbookpublishing.com/product/1589#&gid=1&pid=1

Someone at Logos call Catholic Book Publishing and ask if Logos can have the digital rights.

Could someone from FL chime in: Why is Liturgy of the Hours restricted for sale to the United States?

Is it because it would have to have a custom calendar for every country that uses a different local calendar for feast days?

I'm a non-Catholic who is interested in learning more about LOTH but I can't if I don't have access to it. Pity.

There is this website: https://beholdvancouver.org/services/liturgy-of-the-hours

And there's the Universalis app which I've discovered but haven't shelled out for.

It would be so much nicer to have access to it in Logos.

Because the rights of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops extend only to the United States. The differences go beyond the calendar to include the translation, for example. No, I'm not an employee of Faithlife ... but belonging to an archdiocese where bringing contraband Canadian ritual books was actively encouraged . . .

International boundaries are so inconvenient in the digital age!

FL why can't we have this booklet? I understand that we'd have to buy it every year, but having it would make the LITURGY OF THE HOURS that many of us have purchased from FL actually integrate.

First, the Ordo varies by diocese(s) and includes the necrology for the diocese(s). Note ordo is short for The Order of Prayer in the Liturgy of the Hours and the Celebration of the Eucharist. Second, it is very inexpensive (at least the Paulist Press one) so it would be nearly impossible to make a profit on it. It would be more effective to expand the lectionary entries to cover the essential additional information from the ordo

I‘d vote for your idea to expand lectionary entries.
