Daily Reading from the Rule of St Benedict
CHAPTER 13: HOW THE MORNING OFFICE IS TO BE SAID ON WEEKDAYS concluded
THE Morning and Evening Office must certainly not pass without the Lord’s Prayer being said at the end in its place by the Superior for all to hear, because of the thorns of scandal that are wont to spring up. Thus warned by the agreement made in that prayer when they say ‘Forgive us as we forgive’, the brethren may clear themselves of this kind of fault. But at the other Offices, only the last part of that prayer is to be said, so that the answer may come from all, ‘But deliver us from evil’.
