The Liturgy of the Hours is here!
I'm happy to announce that we've begun work on producing the four-volume liturgy of the hours for Verbum!
It's available for pre-order as of earlier today:

Enjoy!

Craig - This is great news!
Out of curiosity, is there still the intention to get the Latin edition of the Liturgia Horarum into the Verbum?

Now we need:
- the 2nd year of scripture readings as given in the Christian Prayer volume
- integration into a restored liturgical ribbon
- integration into the lectionary/missal layout ... don't forget to give us the right psalms ...
Sorry, I'm just never satisfied. But I truly thank you for getting this one done.

Oh good! Thank you!
Now if only the present Sample Pages weren't so dramatically different from the liturgical text itself.

Well I preordered even though I have the 4 volume set in hard copy. I will be interested in how it is presented.

Same here. I also use an iPad app. But it would be nice to have it work like the Missal in Verbum so I can have it with the rest of the daily devotionals I have on my iPad home page.

Great to see!
Does this resource include the translation of the Psalms, or is it pulling the Psalm text from one's preferred Bible translation?

I‘m pretty sure it would be the official translation, much like the lectionary for Mass is.

Yes, it will include the psalms from the four-volume text, which are the Grail psalms.

I went to the order page, but I don't see anything of the 'prayer interface.' I really hope that you truly have a "streamlined" approach with no flipping and jumping, but I don't want to drop $90 hoping that you did it better than the free breviaries out there. What makes this better than the free apps?

I’ll be happy if it works like the Missal, but we’ll see. Hopefully we’ll get the preview before we get the bill

So excited about this one!!!!
hoping the book of blessings and other sacramental rites (marriage/baptism/funerals/etc) will follow. This will make Verbum a one stop shop for liturgy prep and research!

Yes, it will include the psalms from the four-volume text, which are the Grail psalms.
Does it mean that the user will not be able to choose his favourite translation, possibly not English? (i.e. hebrew or Spanish)
Will the patristic lectures be linked to the library?
Thanks

Thanks Craig, this is great news that you are including the Grail psalms. Will there be an option for other translations also?

An additional feature that would be useful would be a pre-defined highlight template/palette for pointing the psalms for plainsong - Sarum and Gregorian at least. If designed using only standard typographic features, it could have the additional new feature of being able to be included in the exported print file.

Would they be able to do that without turning it into a different product altogether? (Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re asking)

I've added a word to my post to correct your misunderstanding. I am not asking FL to point the psalms. I am asking for a predefined highlighting template/palette so that the user can point and print a psalm.

Ah, that makes much more sense. Thanks for explaining.

We are doing testing and reworking of the Verbum Liturgy of the Hours now. This is such an important resource that we want to get it right before we release.

Here's a preview, but keep in mind that this is not the final version:

Looks good. Will we have the Dashboard linking us to the specific Hours of the day, similar to what we have with the Missal now?

Thanks! Could you post a picture of the psalms, please? It is just to check if they are linked to other resources as well.

If you mean, “choose your own version,” I think it has to be the approved version

The Liturgy of the Hours book is in use by a number of Anglicans who have different "approved" versions. And when not prayed in community, a great deal of flexibility is allowed.

I was under the impression that this was the English translation of the official Catholic Liturgy of the Hours.

Is it ready or is it still being finished off?

But nevertheless it would be fine to have direct access to hebrew and greek, besides other languages. And besides, as far as I know, the official hymns are not the same everywhere.

As I see it, it's a question of what they're allowed to do with the work. Would these things modify the work. I think we'll find that it's going to have the same requirements to follow the text as the Missal if they want it to be approved for official use.
