We conclude our series on the Daily Offices in the Prayer Book by looking at the intercessory final section of the services. This includes the Lord's Prayer, the Suffrages, the Collects, and all the rest. We will also look at where you can find various topical prayers throughout the Prayer Book for use in the Office, and we briefly look at the Litany.

In today's lesson, we continue our exploration of the Services of Daily Morning and Evening Prayer by looking at how Scripture is appointed to be read. The intent of this section of the daily services is to present to God's people his holy Word whole and entire throughout the year. The proper response of God's people on hearing is word is to respond with faith and praise.

We continue with our study of the Daily Office by actually diving into The Book of Common Prayer. We start with some basic liturgical vocabulary to help you navigate the book, and where to find key structural elements to get through the order of service. Then we look at the Opening Sentences, the Bidding to Confession, the Confession, the Absolution, and the first Lord's Prayer.

Today we begin a new three-week series on the services of Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer in the Book of Common Prayer, collectively known as the "Daily Office." In this study, we look at the basic building blocks of the services, and their history from the early church through the middle ages to the shape of the modern liturgies by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer during the Reformation of the sixteenth century. The services we use are largely unchanged from his.
