Advent Vespers (Shortened) with Poem

The schedule is a bit mad today and the house a bit full. Here is a “shorter” version of Evening Prayer for which I used today’s entry from Magnificat Magazine, which I highly recommend to you, particularly if – like many – the full-length Liturgy of the Hours is just more than your daily schedule can handle.

After the prayer, which is substantially shorter than normal Vespers, I read an except from Longfellow’s “Introitus” of “The Divine Tragedy” just because I liked it so much. I hope you do, too. The podcast is here.

Today’s O Antiphon is here.
