BCP question

I was wondering how does one use the BCP as a devotional guide, so that the proper prayers and scriptural readings are done in the proper order? 

Is there a resource in Logos to help with this?

    If you don't already have it, you might consider

    Shalom!

    I was wondering the same thing, since I'm contemplating starting to use the BCP (1559 or 1979??) as a devotional.

    As a newbie I found the following website on the 1979 BCP very helpful:

    I believe he is asking for a smart BCP... so he can do BCP Morning prayer for example and the  psalms pop in place (but are you doing the 30 day Psalter or daily prescribed ones?), the Proper for that week or day is in place. This is very possible but would require a big investment in handling of the BCP. the BCP Daily lectionary also will help him in some respects with using the BCP devotionally.

    In terms of learning how to read the psalms, canticles, collects, etc in proper order easily - there's not a simple way to do that within Logos. 

    But you might want to take a look at a friend of mine's online Breviary. That should get you started pretty easily and you can tailor it to your particular liturgical style (while still observing the rubrics).
