Daily Devotions for
Individuals and Families
These devotions follow the basic structure of the Daily Office of the Church.
When more than one person is present, the Reading and the Collect should be read by one person, and the other parts said in unison, or in some other convenient manner. (For suggestions about reading the Psalms, see page 582.)
For convenience, appropriate Psalms, Readings, and Collects are provided in each service. When desired, however, the Collect of the Day, or any of the Collects appointed in the Daily Offices, may be used instead.
The Psalms and Readings may be replaced by those appointed in
a) the Lectionary for Sundays, Holy Days, the Common of Saints, and Various Occasions, page 888
b) the Daily Office Lectionary, page 934
c) some other manual of devotion which provides daily selections for the Church Year.
