Q: Hello, Fr Paul. Sorry to bother you.
Lately I’ve been using The Abbey Psalms and Canticles to pray the LOTH when I’ve been praying by myself.
<https://store.usccb.org/collections/bible/products/the-abbey-psalms-and-canticles>
The third Psalm in today’s Daytime Prayer (Week I Friday) is Ps 28 with a few lines skipped. When I used The Abbey, however, I prayed the entire Psalm instead of locating the skipped lines and skipping them. Was that licit? I rather liked not skipping those lines.
Thank you.
With warm regards,
