The Daily Office: What It Is & How to Do It

- The Daily Office is the quintessential Anglican form of prayer and Scriptural devotion, this video summarises what it is and guides you on how to do it.
To download my Daily Office and Lectionary booklets, go here:
newkingdom.home.blog/2021/12/...
For an interactive and easy to use Lectionary, go here:
liturgical-calendar.com/en-em...
This site also has the Daily Office Lectionary of the Episcopal Church (TEC) and the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA).
The 1662 Book of Common Prayer that I use and recommend:
www.ivpress.com/the-1662-book...
(It also includes the 39 Articles, the Homily on Justification by Faith by Alone, and plenty of additional prayers for various situations).
This is the Daily Office of the ACNA, you simply go to today’s date and click on either Morning or Evening to take you to that service which brilliantly has the Psalms and Readings appointed for that day on the same page.

the daily office is a prt of the genius of Anglicanism. It takes the medieval tradition of the monks, the spiritual elite, simplifies it, distills the good of it, makes it actually reasonable for a normal working person to do, and then gives it not to only the clergy, but to the normal person, for their spiritual enrichment and a more widespread glorification to God. Society would be better in every way if it was set to the rythms of the prayerbook.
Amen!
I only discovered it 2 months ago. I’m 58 and it’s been life changing for my walk with God.
it's an adaptation without authority.
So it's anything but genius.
As an American I am proud to be a part of an ACNA church. I love our BCP, but I want to get a hold of the 1662 as well. Spotify has a podcast that runs morning an evening prayers (ACNA BCP) which is how I do the daily office. It helps me feel as though I am doing daily office in a small group. I enjoy it.
I’m an Orthodox Christian, but greatly appreciate the BCP! I’ve a 1662 version print that I often use in personal devotion at home. It is basic enough that there’s nothing in the daily office morning and evening prayer services that an Orthodox Christian would find heretical. It’s essentially just another method of praying and reading through the Bible. And that’s always good!
Orthodoxwest has an orthodox revised version!
This is the best and simplest explanation for why we pray in the plural even when we’re alone. Thanks!
Very, very good video. One thing I suggest is (if you'd be gracious enough) to so a whole video of you completing one Daily Office yourself, with the camera solely focused on the BCP, so people can see the methodology of using the prayer book in practice, as page referencing can be very intimidating.
Another subject I'd like you to broach for the Anglican "peace", is the Anglican church's 3rd office, the Compline, in traditional language as it can be very cathartic.
Other than that, you're a great Anglican litergical resource that the Internet greatly needs. You as a content maker brings serenity to those through those who are baptised in the faith but wouldn't know how to practice it.
God bless and keep up the good work 🙏
I too agree.
Agree!
I originally started reading the Daily Office as a devotional for Advent, but after having experienced the beauty of it and how its deepened my faith, I can't imagine NOT reading it.
I would suggest that the DO is not only “devotional” but catechetical. I find that having practiced the DO with my husband for the past several years (having been an evangelical and now in the ACNA and my spouse as a priest), the impact of the scripture readings, the pace of the monthly Psalter, and the repetition of the prayers (which are largely Scripture) have been profound. It is the Anglican Way and a good rule of life for every Christian, in my estimation!
I live in Canada. I'm Pentecostal but serve the local Anglican Church as their organist. They use The Book of Alternative Services. Morning and Evening Prayers are found therein. I'm gonna try to do the Daily Office from that book. I have a bible, and I found a Book of Common Prayer at a Yard sale.
Thank you for your post...it was an encouragement to get me started. God bless.
Fellow Pentecostal here. I'm curious to see how you're finding it! It's proved an invaluable devotional resource for me, so I'm interested to hear how others of my particular tradition find it.
@@z_nytrom99 I didn't stick with it long...but still have devotions . But I'm delighted to know that you have found it to be that strong source of strength you need. Certainly open to talk more. Thank you for messaging.
Trying hard to follow the saviour.
Can't wait for Easter Sunday,...I'm having a Coca Cola.. haha 😆
Excellent video! Very helpful and concise. Many ACNA churches I've visited use the 2019 BCP, but quite a few parishes use the 1662 in either the original language or a modernization (our parish uses a modernization). When my wife and I were confirmed, our pastor and bishop gifted us with two copies of the IVP 1662 BCP that you use in this video. That's what I use in my personal devotions. Thanks again!
It's funny because you came to mind the other day. It's nice to see a video upload.
It's been a busy time and so this will probably be my last video until next year sadly.
Thanks so much for the videos. I read morn and evening prayers every day. I use 1928 BCp usa. God Bless you.
The Liturgy of the Hours is the quintessential daily prayers of Catholics. The rosary is cool too.
I love the BCP. Attending choral Evensong keeps me grounded.
I appreciate this informative video so much, as I am new to Anglicanism and attending an ACNA church. Thank you!
I am an Indonesian Roman Catholic doing daily office regularly since 2022. Thank you for the tips in the end of this video, its really a struggle to keep praying daily with this devotion.....
Thanks for making educational and more basic videos like this explaining aspects of the Anglican tradition, I’m very new to it and it’s a bit confusing and overwhelming so I highly appreciate this edifying instruction and inspiration!
Good for you. Keep on with it, esp. the prayer book, and you’ll find that it will begin “praying you”. Blessings.
Great tips I’m new to the Church of England so it’s interesting to hear how the Anglican communion works from other countries and thanks for praying for the Queen even from New Zealand 🇳🇿!
This is excellent. Thanks so much! I have prayed the daily office for more than four decades, although I first learned of it through material published by the Lutherans. I especially appreciate the opportunity it provides to immerse myself in the Psalms, which are the heart of daily prayer. I wish every Christian would practise this form of prayer.
Thanks ever so much and may our loving God bless you in everything you do. Amen
Yes! Been waiting for this video.
Hello! Thank you for this video. It's a big help to have that for my Personal prayer life, I want to have that. We don't have that here in the Philippines. I pray to have my own copy this Christmas.
Terrific work on this. I've used the American 1928 prayer book for several years, but lately I'm using that IVP 1662 you feature here. It's a wonderful edition of the prayer book.
Thank you for all the work you put into this.
I really enjoyed this video. Your advice is excellent. I started off being distracted by the lack of water in your flowers but as you spoke, I became fascinated by what you had to say. Thank you so much.
Excellent thank you for your work. I also enjoy occasionally the midday prayer and compline
I class myself as a true Christian but all this is just way to elaborate and complicated. I believe Jesus simply wants us to be the best we can and to honour god in our heart… however that takes form is good enough in my opinion. Peace be with you all and remember we all have access to god, anytime any place as long as it is sincere and heartfelt ✝️❤️✝️
As someone who has been attracted to monasticism I've really been longing to simply live a life of contemplation in prayer by God's grace. This seems like a wonderful way to do that.
I bought the book and it has been the best purchase of my life! Thank you!
Based
Thank you for doing this. So informative.
11:43 an important detail here: while you must skip the absolution if you are alone or in a group without a minister, you are encouraged by the 1662 BCP to turn to the collect of the 21st sunday after Trinity, where there is a prayer which asks for the absolution of sins.
Thank you for this 🙏watching from NZ
I usually use the collect from the 21st Sunday after Trinity as the response to the confession when absent a priest: "Grant, we beseech thee merciful Lord, to thy faithful people pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all their sins and serve thee with a quiet mind, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
Excellent explanation. Thank you, River. Let's stick with 1662 IE.
Not completely sure about joining the Anglican church, but I've been using the 1662 BCP since my conversion and it's been a great spiritual help.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m completely new to Anglicanism, but am in the process of joining an ACNA church, so this whole channel has been a great help!
Wouldn’t it be great if the whole daily office is available on TH-cam?
Ive signed up to Anglican daily prayer and have an app on my phone. Really nice
Thank you! I'm planning to make a couple of these for my mum's Christmas prezzie ❤
For Catholics our most fundamental prayer is NOT the Rosary but the Liturgy of the Hours (our daily office)
Joining! Starting from today. Thank you so much
Thank you, this is most helpful!
Very clear. Thanks
This really helped me! Thank you so much.
Thank you for this information.
Thanks so much for this video. It's really helped me understand how to properly go through the daily office. I'm still fairly new to Anglicanism and so I really appreciate this. Also I didn't know you're from NZ (I thought your accent might have been from South Africa or something), I'm on the other side here in Sydney Australia.
The American Anglican Church has an excellent Prayer Book. I just bought it last week.
I really never knew that existed until now, thats cool
I wish there was a conservative, Biblical Anglican church in Tauranga 😢 We seem to only have woke ones with (sorry) lady vicars. Or modernised to be semi-rock concerts. I am hungry for an old-fashioned biblical conservative Anglican church here that uses the wonderful old hymns and actually believes in God!
'Biblical conservative' makes no sense. The texts in the bible were written over many centuries and with a variety of religious communities in mind, and representing the biases of a variety of biblical authors and editors. Viewed in their historical context, many of these texts are deeply radical. Understanding that the Bible comes to us from the past doesn't mean we can't read it as scripture and reflect on passages as part of our religious life, but it doesn't exist simply to flatter our ego by seeming to confirm the pre-existing worldview that we bring to it as readers. The same goes for the church - it isn't a private club where everyone should think and feel as we do. Let go of your labels, let go of judgement, and listen for God's voice
Thank you for this video. I just got the IVP 1672 version on the recommendation of Dr. Thomas Price of the Theology Pugcast who is also an ACNA member.
11:45 Regarding the "Absolution" section, another option for laypeople would be to pray the collect for the Twenty-First Sunday after Trinity: "Grant, we beseech thee, merciful Lord, to thy faithful people pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all their sins, and serve thee with a quiet mind, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." (pp. 196 of the IVP edition)
12:34 The Venite, Ps. 95 is part of what the Rom. Cath, calles The Invitatory. They also give alternate Pss. 24,100, & 67. Invitatory acts as a kind of introduction to their first Office which could be Morning Prater or Office Of Readings.
Literally doing the Lord's work
Within The Universal Church The Divine Office or Liturgy of the Hours is technically above the Rosary. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the most important followed by The Divine Office. Both have Liturgical status. The Rosary is an extremely popular and fruitful devotion but does not hold liturgical status. I think I’ve got that correct.
To add to the multiplication of lectionaries (which can be extremely confusing) I have a BCP - not sure its exact vintage, but not especially old - which has a Table of Lessons organised on the basis of a regular January-December calendar. The Church of England has a useful app, Daily Prayer, which affords two options: Morning and Evening Prayer from the more recent Common Worship prayer book; but also a traditional BCP form. Let's look at the chosen readings for Morning Prayer for 12th February (which today happens to be the Monday after Quinquagesima, which is the Sunday before Lent):
Revised Table of Lessons, 1922: Psalms 62-64; Genesis 29 1-20; Matthew 23 13-39
International 1662: Psalms 62-64; Leviticus 20; Mark 12
International 1662 (Alternative Table 1961, Year II): Psalms 62-64; Genesis 31 1-9 and 14-21; Matthew 23 13-39
Episcopal 1979: Psalm 25; Proverbs 27:1-6, 10-12; John 18:15-18, 25-27
ACNA 2019: Psalm 106:1-18; Genesis 42 or 42:1-28; Matthew 2
My BCP: Psalms 62-64; Exodus 12 v43 - 13 v 17; Matthew 24 to v39
Daily Prayer App (BCP): Psalms 62-64; Genesis 37 1-11; Galatians 1
Daily Prayer App (Common Worship): Psalms 27 and 30; Genesis 37 1-11; Galatians 1
The simplest advice, I suggest, is that if you from time to time perform Morning or Evening Prayer in the company of others then choose the format which they using for your private devotions, too. If you tend to perform these alone, then choose whichever lectionary suits you the best. If you bite off more than you can chew, you may find yourself rushing or unable to focus for the longer time required by more passages of scripture.
The Roman church has the Office. And Many laity say it. There's even a short version.
The link for the ACNA Daily Office is no longer valid
Just got the 1662 book of common prayer (international edition)! Thank you for this video. I’m leaning how to start using it on my own. I was wondering I noticed that on your slides of showing what to read in the book that it looks like you use leader in the place of the priest interval? There was the part at the beginning that you mentioned not to say because it is only for a priest to say and then the other intervals that say priest that then you said we can say with the answers. Sorry if this is confusing just wondering why there is a difference between what we can say of the priest intervals and what not to say and why?
Thanks!
There is a book of common prayer app.
It would be nice to see a simple explanation for finding the OT and NT daily office readings from the BCP 1662 book alone. The psalter works by day of the month but the other verses aren’t as simple.
9:22 My reading through the Bible is private reading, I don't read it aloud and do a lot of study. OT once a year, Epst. and Rev. twice, Gspls. & Acts 3 times a year.
I am trying to love this 1662 ie but man its slow going googling the old English and reading my NLT translation to understand some of the scriptures. I suppose it takes practice and determination to become familiar.
8:17 What version and edition of the Bible is this? The cover is very interesting.
Besides reading the Psalms, I want to sing the Psalms as I do the Daily Office. Where can I find an online directory, website or CD with the Psalms being sung so that I may learn to sing them as I do the Daily Office?
The Rosasry isn’t the quintessential Catholic prayer but the Mass is. After this would probably be the Catholic Daily Office.
Is there a little kids version we can do with the kids before school and in the evading
In The Prayers- Suffrages of Daily Office of Episcopal Church, Can suffrages be adjusted or not?
Don’t you use the 2019 BCP of the ACNA?
Which compact Bible is that you showed ?
Did you know that the Church of England modernised the Daily Office in 1994 and REACH-SA did it in 1992.
During months with 31 days, which psalm do you read?
If you have time could you please reformat your PDFs for U.S. letter sized paper (8½ x 11 inches)? We don't have A4 or A5 paper.
How is the New Zealand Anglican church different from the Episcopalian church in the US?
I was an Episcopalian but there was to much of the Schleiermacher/Bultmann apostasy in it so I moved over to the Born Again/Evangelical side because they still believe the stuff. I had left the Church in my youth and become Agnostic and returned to the Episcopal Church much like the British author C S Lewis because I came to believe that Christianity is TRUE. So finding that the Church would recite the Creeds and still tolerate the Bishop of New Jersey denying everything it said made me say "these guys don't believe what they are saying, I'm going to where they really believe." But still I think that we over here on the "Born Again" side need to get back to the grounding of the historic Protestant Reformation.
You need to put more water in your flowers.
Hoping you'll see this comment, which actually is in response to an older one. In relation to The Shape of the Liturgy by Dom Gregory Dix, have you read any books on the Anglican liturgy by the late Rev. Dr. Peter Toon? He thought Dom's conclusions were faulty.
No I haven't, thanks for the recommendation. Yes, many of Dix's conclusions about Cranmer (such as labeling his Eucharistic theology as Zwinglian) were totally wrong but I do believe he still gives a very helpful analysis of how the 1552 liturgy is shaped and structured to express sola fide.
For Catholics the Liturgy of the Hours is the prayer of the Church, not the Rosary. Priests ands religious are required to pray daily. There are 7 Hours per day. How many Hours one prays varies according to your station in the Church from the laity to monastic orders. I want ro get a BCP. Which one do you recommend?
I have two questions. First, how do I know which collects are supposed to be read each day? Second, I have a 1662 BCP International edition and couldn’t find the point in the daily office for personal prayer, should I do it before the final prayer?
Hi good questions.
1.) There is a section in the BCP called 'The Collects, Epistles, and Gospels' which has a Collect for each Sunday of the week, and you just repeat this collect for every day of that week until the next Sunday. In the International Version these begin on page 49 and at the time of me writing this reply we are at the 20th Sunday after Trinity, which is on page 194.
2.) Do personal prayer either before the collects or after them, but before the Prayer of St Chrysostom
Why do some of the narrative readings (especially Old Testament) skip chapters? Does this not throw you off to read something one day, then the following day to skip ahead a little and not go “wait, how did we get to this point now?”
It tends to only skip chapters such as genealogies and extensive law stuff, I've not found it to be a problem.
What bible did you hold up and where can I buy it?
Sometimes churches give bibles, not commonly tho
I find the full morning daily office takes much, much longer than 20 minutes. Perhaps if you are going quickly and without thought it might be possible.
This guys good. Anglicans have this habit of talking themselves out of a job.
The Daily Office is far more central for Roman Catholics than the Rosary, which is an optional private prayer.
Yes Priests, Monks and Nuns have Vespers. Very beautiful too. Yes when we had the Roman Missal we had psalms, prayers, Old Testament and New Testament but the Masonic Secret Societies threw everything out yes even Tabernacles and Altars and put in tables for their snack supper.
The Liturgy of the Hours is the Public Prayer of the Church Whole not special prayers for Priests, Monks, and Nuns!
Sorry but your initial statement about the Rosary being Catholics' quintessential prayer is sadly wrong. The Liturgy of the Hours follows the Psalms and Scriptures to a set calendar that corresponds with the Mass of the day. Not only Clergy and Religious, but all Catholics are encouraged to pray the LOTH, in union with the whole Church, the Body of Christ, as you also suggest Anglicans do in the Daily Office. Before Vatican II clerics were bound to pray the office seven times a day, reflecting the ancient temple practice of the Israelites as reflected in the Psalms. Now there are 5 daily hours in the modern Liturgy of the Hours. Anyway, thanks for this interesting video, I can appreciate it as a liturgy geek!
Great content. You have a baby coming. How are you going to keep this going?
With God's grace!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You wouldn't join the REC if you were in America?! Our BCP is closest to the 1662 😏
I kind of see the REC as being part of the ACNA. And I feel very connected to the ACNA since Foley Beach consecrated my Bishop
@@newkingdommedia9434 I think you would find the REC prayer book interesting, the Communion service follows the 1662, but also has an alternate consecration which follows the 1928 American prayer book (Which was used at all the REC churches I’ve attended). The daily office is basically the American 1928. It’s daily office lectionary doesn’t include the apocrypha ,which Anglo-Catholic that I am, I loathe, but it makes for a good lectionary for non-Anglicans who would otherwise be on board.
As an evangelical Anglican (from an evangelical heritage) I have found the apocrypha to be very interesting, a slice of history, and some of it amazing. Glad to get acquainted with it after years of my Protestant bashing (out of ignorance 🙁).
Doesn't praying set prayers contradict what Jesus says? Repeating empty words?
Actually the Equivalent of Daily Office in Roman Catholic Church is Divine Office not rosary, unfortunately Divine Office isn't common among laymen.
Do Anglicans pray to Mary and/or pray the Rosary?
We have our own rosary but it doesn't have anything addressed to Mary. We are not supposed to pray to her as the Articles and Homilies forbid it but some Anglicans do it anyway. I don't.
Yes Anglo-Catholics do. They mostly have a statue of Our Lady (Mary) in their churches.
1662 isn't the original. The original was in 1549.
Where the absolution is meant to be said by the priest, we (the lay person) can can say the 21st Collect for Purity in its place 🙏 .
"Grant, we beseech thee, merciful Lord, to thy faithful people pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all their sins, and serve thee with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
All: Amen."
This is whats stated in the Anglican BCP
FYI: Roman Catholics Pray the Daily Office and is required for Priests..
Priests and all religious. Since Vatican II it is highly encouraged that all lay parishioners pray the office as well.
I was sad when you said ACNA :(
How come?
Yes. Why?
The ACNA is a good thing. If you’re sad about it, check what your Bible says.
0:07 Interestingly, the Rom. Cth. Church does have a prayer book much like the Anglican. The Liturgy Of The Hours. As a Protestant I think they ought to pay more attention to that than those beads. I was Episcopalian a long time ago (American equivalent of Church Of England) and our BCP was to a great extent just a watered down Lit. O T Hrs. My brother became Rom. Cath. so I became familiar with Lit O T Hrs. as part of my study in response. My conclusion, Luther was right, Leo X was wrong, I'm still Protestant.
Wait a second, you’re married. Do you and your wife do this together?
I do it alone in the morning and with her in the evening.
Roman Catholics..no
It's members of the Catholic church.
The rosary isn't the quintessential "Roman" Catholic prayer.
Where do you get these ideas?
I was onboard until you mentioned your preference for the breakaway, anti woman anti gay ACNA, which is NOT part of the Anglican communion.
Not least of the evils of the ACNA is their appropriating the name of Anglican for themselves. Utterly shameless.
You mean the actual traditional Anglicans who haven’t become part of the world system? The ones who stick to Biblical authority and don’t bow to anti-Christian compromised lifestyles?
So they are anti-sin? Sounds good.
