You can just pick your favorite or whichever one you feel like using that day. Hymn: There are several hymns to choose from.The only thing is you don't say the "Alleluia" after the "Glory to the Father." during Lent. Introduction: This is pretty much the same every night.You can look through the section for Night Prayer in the Ordinary if you have the four-volume Liturgy of the Hours set (there's no section for it in the one-volume Christian Prayer), but I will outline the basic structure here: You're already looking in the Proper of Seasons every day if you're doing the daily readings, so you would just have to also check the Proper of Saints as well. Most of these days are listed in the Proper of Saints, but some of them will be in the Proper of Seasons, so you have to look in both places. The ones that aren't optional have the word "Memorial" listed in the Proper of Saints the optional ones don't. Memorials: This is the last category, and some of them are optional.Feasts: This is the next category and has precedence over the next.This is the only category of feast day that will alter how you do Night Prayer. One unique thing about solemnities is that they actually start the evening of the previous day. By the way, Sunday counts as a solemnity. Solemnities: This is the highest category of feast days, and take precedence over any of the others.Saints are simply people who we know have gone to heaven, and the way we know is that the Catholic Church has documented at least of two instances of miracles that have occurred as a result of asking the saint in question to pray for us. I think I should clarify something about saints for Christians of other denominations. I'm sure you celebrate Christmas and Easter, but there are plenty of other feast days. Feast days are days we Catholics set aside to celebrate the lives of saints and important events in Christianity. For the next step, I'm going to suggest adding Night Prayer to your daily routine, but first I want to talk about feast days. If so, you've not only become more familiar with the Proper of Seasons. Hopefully, you've been doing the daily readings from the Office of Readings.
These posts will be of most interest to Catholics, but may contain useful information for Christians of other denominations.
