Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser. II, Vol. XI:
The Works of John Cassian.: Book III. Of the Canonical System of the Daily Prayers and Psalms.

Early Church Fathers  Index     

Book III.

Of the Canonical System of the Daily Prayers and Psalms.

 

Chapter I. Of the services of the third, sixth, and ninth hours, which are observed in the regions of Syria.
Chapter II. How among the Egyptians they apply themselves all day long to prayer and Psalm continually, with the addition of work, without distinction of hours.
Chapter III. How throughout all the East the services of Tierce, Sext, and None are ended with only three Psalms and prayers each; and the reason why these spiritual offices are assigned more particularly to those hours.
Chapter IV. How the Mattin office was not appointed by an ancient tradition but was started in our own day for a definite reason.
Chapter V. How they ought not to go back to bed again after the Mattin prayers.
Chapter VI. How no change was made by the Elders in the ancient system of Psalms when the Mattin office was instituted.
Chapter VII. How one who does not come to the daily prayer before the end of the first Psalm is not allowed to enter the Oratory; but at Nocturnes a late arrival up to the end of the second Psalm can be overlooked.
Chapter VIII. Of the Vigil service which is celebrated on the evening preceding the Sabbath; of its length, and the manner in which it is observed.
Chapter IX. The reason why a Vigil is appointed as the Sabbath day dawns, and why a dispensation from fasting is enjoyed on the Sabbath all through the East.
Chapter X. How it was brought about that they fast on the Sabbath in the city.
Chapter XI. Of the points in which the service held on Sunday differs from what is customary on other days.
Chapter XII. Of the days on which, when supper is provided for the brethren, a Psalm is not said as they assemble for the meals as is usual at dinner.
