The above guides were found on St. Thomas More, House of Prayer. To look at their very informative website, please click on the above link. I hope these guides are helpful. There aren't many guides like that. My initial search came out of searching for hymn tunes. I had those on my 2008 website, but those data aren't useable anymore due to changes in technology.
Breviary Hymns: Liturgy of the Hours - an interesting Canadian website with lots of reference material. I came across this website when I noticed how difficult it was to find the hymn tunes of the Hymns we sing.
Article 13 of the OFS Constitution
- Rule 7 Secular Franciscans, called in earlier times "the brothers and sisters of penance," propose to live in the spirit of continual conversion. Some means to cultivate this characteristic of the Franciscan vocation, individually and in fraternity, are: listening to and celebrating the Word of God; review of life; spiritual retreats; the help of a spiritual adviser, and penitential celebrations. They should approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation frequently and participate in the communal celebration of it, whether in the fraternity, or with the whole people of God.
- In this spirit of conversion, they should live out their love for the renewal of the Church, which should be accompanied by personal and communal renewal. The fruits of conversion, which is a response to the love of God, are the works of charity in the interactions with the brothers and sisters.
- Traditional among Franciscan penitents, penitential practices such as fasting and abstinence should be known, appreciated, and lived out according to the general guidelines of the Church.
