I have met Fr. John Brancich @ the Saint Stanislaus chapel in Nashua NH numerous times. Out of the FSSP priests there, I always preferred his approach. He is clear and well balanced. Definitely a priest one could go for confession, if one is timid about approaching a priest. He's not one to slam your sins like a big fish on top of your head.
Beautiful explanation! I play Sing the Hours in the mornings on my way to work. I love the Liturgy of the Hours. The prayers are in accordance with the daily readings. 🙏✝️
Thanks for answering this question. I've wondered what Vespers was, but haven't had a chance to go to one. Also, I love the Virgin Mary "Gadsden" flag in the backgorund!
I was hoping for something more specific on how to pray Vesper. I have the daily prayer missal and the pages are written on a white board near the choir seats. At least one priest, but usually two, prays one part and someone else sings the responses. I follow along with whichever priest is sitting in front of me on my side of the pews; be it either the leader or the responder. I am just guessing on how to do it. Am I supposed to only follow the responder like in Mass? Do I pray both parts? The catechism says there is no such thing as an ex-Catholic. So we are either a good Catholic or a bad Catholic. I’ve have been a good Catholic for 6 years after being a bad Catholic for 40 years.
For the most part, all the Divine Office is done antiphonally. This means the two sides of the church are alternating the prayers. There are a few things that only one priest leads but for the most part it's obvious. In the new Rite, it's basically just the blessing at the end which you will recognize from the Mass. But when they're doing the psalms, it's just two sides of the church alternating the verses.
