Roman v Monastic
Howdy fellow breviary enthusiasts!
I wanted to get your thoughts on the my breviary choice. I’ve long believed that it is best to use the breviary that is proper to your community, but what is one to do if they are part of two communities?
I attend the TLM and generally prayed the Roman Breviary. When I became a Benedictine Oblate of Clear Creek, I took up the monastic breviary. However, I attend Mass every day at my parish and only visit my monastic community once per year. Would it not be more advantageous to pray the Roman Breviary?
And yes, I’m aware that since I have no obligation I can do as I wish. I’m just interested in the community’s opinion. Our Oblate statutes encourage us to pray some part of the office, but we’re specifically told that which form of the Breviary is our choice, with some using the monastic breviary, some the Roman, and some the LOTH, so the door is open.
TIA for your opinions!
