ANY YEARS AGO we bought booklets from our local FSSP for Compline. Tonight I found they had been superceded by these, but the old ones are still available here. One oddity about the old ones is that the psalms for All Souls’ Day are only given in Latin. No English translation as in the rest of the booklet. So each year, just after we muddle through, I renew my resolution to type up a supplement.
This time, thanks to the magic of time-zones, I can type up the supplement after we’ve said Compline, ready for the beginning of All Souls’ Day over the other side of the world.
Also of note, Steven van Roode has compiled a new Compline book according to the current Liturgy of the Hours. And it’s all in Latin (there is a Latin/Dutch or Flemish version available). Though the rest of the hours use a 4 week cycle, Compline is kept simple with the same psalms each week, making it a great one to get started with.
Even the Episcopalians are doing it.
