I'm looking for a "Daily Office" type resource in Logos available in the UK

I'm looking for a resource that has prayers / Bible readings to guide someone through a daily office with sessions for - at least - morning, lunchtime and evening.

I understand - but am not sure - that this is provided in the "Liturgy of the hours" but that is not available in the UK.

https://www.logos.com/product/8648/book-of-common-prayer-1979-daily-office-lectionary includes daily readings (but only has morning / evening and the Psalms are the only thing that differ in those slots)

Is anyone aware of the a resource similar to what I am looking for?

Thanks, Graham

Does the resource need to be in logos? If not, the Church of England has sessions that cover morning, midday, evening and night - using either the book of common worship or the more traditional book of common prayer. - https://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/join-us-service-daily-prayer The OT and NT readings will be different across the sessions, not just the psalms. Additionally, much of it is available in audio format.

I'd also highly recommend the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (International Edition) by IVP. It has the traditional Morning and Evening services, which provides different readings of the Psalms, OT and NT for each session. This resource is in logos https://www.logos.com/product/195868/the-1662-book-of-common-prayer-international-edition but it isn't integrated into the lectionary feature yet.

One really helpful thing about this is the number of free additional resources IVP has made for it, which can be found here at the bottom of the page - https://www.ivpress.com/pages/content/book-of-common-prayer-international-edition-free-resources-faq In particular, 'A Companion to Morning Prayer' and 'A Beginner’s Guide to Evening Prayer' have been wonderfully helpful for me, and a good introduction to the daily use of the BCP.

All of this is rather Anglican, I'm not sure what resources might be available outside this tradition.

Edit: I should also note that the 1928 Daily Office Lectionary which is available in logos with the lectionary feature have both morning and evening prayer, with different Psalm, OT and NT readings as well. I think they slimmed down the number of readings in the 1979 version because they thought it was too much for people.

Edit Edit: Be Thou My Vision by Gibson is another resource that I'd recommend. It's designed to be used once a day, but there is no reason you couldn't use it multiple times a day, and decided to read that days OT passage in the morning and the NT in the evening for example. It's available in logos, but similar to other resources, is not integrated into the lectionary feature.

Hi Mal

Many thanks for your very helpful response.

I would ideally like this within Logos - but the link you have provided to the Church of England sessions is really interesting.

I’ll look at these further

Appreciated, Graham

Only morning and evening prayer in the Anabaptist tradition 2 volumes "Take Our Moments" in Logos

Universalis home page gives all the hours online

Treasury of Daily Prayer is a Lutheran version - dead tree format only as far as I know ...

Graham,

You might want to take a look at the Episcopal Prayer book 1979. There is a Daily Office for times throughout the day.

And also this as a companion.

Thanks for responding Scot

However, as I mentioned above this only seems to have different readings for the Psalms in morning and evenings and the other readings are just for the day.

Unless I am missing something?

They are assigned by day but one uses only 1 or 2 per service ... i.e. the user divides them up however they wish.

I use this app and love it. It works great. It's available for Android as well.

I have long desired this. What you posted is the only resource I am aware of in Logos. I use the app by forward movement. Its the same as the website. I think it is the best. In the app, you can also play the daily podcast so you can read along if you like.

I've used Forward Movement as well.

The Venite app is another one (apparently sponsored by Forward Movement): https://www.venite.app/home

You can use it on the web or on your phone.
