Deacon Greg emailed me yesterday that one of his readers wished he would send him to someone podcasting hours of the Divine Office without chant.<\/p>\n

Well, I never said I was much of a singer, so I\u2019m not hurt. But for this morning, to please this reader, I bring you Morning Prayer Without the Chant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let me know which you prefer. If people would rather I not chant, I\u2019ll just speak the Offices.<\/p>\n

And once more, please \u2013 I\u2019m really serious \u2013 please let me know if these things are unlistenable, either because of hums, hisses and whines (not yours, the audio\u2019s) or because I just sound ugh<\/em>. I\u2019d rather know the truth than hear polite fiction. If I\u2019m making an ass of myself, please let me know!<\/p>\n

Once again, I\u2019m sorry for the less-than-stellar recording. My computer is very old and my headset came with my Rosetta Stone software, so between that stuff and my own rackety voice, we\u2019re starting off with a solid \u201cB,\u201d here, and hoping for the best. But I\u2019m saving up for new equipment!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
