CHAPTER XII.

How the solemnity of Lauds is to be performed.

For Sunday’s Lauds, first, let the sixtieth Psalm be said plainly, without an antiphon; after which, say the fiftieth with an “Alleluia;” then the hundred-and-seventeenth, and the sixty-second; then the “Blessings,”158 and “Praises”159, one lesson out of the Apocalypse said by heart, a responsory, a hymn, a versicle with a canticle out of the Gospel, and the Litanies, and so conclude.
