I am a new user of your site. It is great! I am a Secular Discalced Carmelite, and do not have the luxury of praying the Divine Office with my community. Praying alone is good; but so much better to be praying with others on your site. When I’m praying alone I tend to pray the psalms, etc too fast — you make me slow down and really listen to what God is saying to me.
I notice that the Saints and Solemnities section has only October and November listed. Will the rest of the year be added?
Thanks again for a great ministry - God Bless you and you ‘helpers’.

@ncmeehoo, yes we will be adding all of the Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials. We will seldom add the Optional Memorials or lower ranked days.
I admit, I had to research a bit to understand your order. I hope you will share more about you and O.C.D.S. (is that correct abbreviation?)

@Dane, Yes, O.C.D.S. is the correct abbreviation. I’m a Secular Discalced Carmelite from New Zealand. We have the same charism as the Discalced Carmelite nuns and friars but we live it out according to our secular life. As part of our Constitutions we are called to pray the Divine Office (morning and evening prayer) every day. This website is a wonderful aid for us.
