Welcomes, Winners& Weekly Questions.

Welcome to the Coffee&Canticles member's list, MG, Elise, Russell, Amy, Michael S., Zita, and Rdifonzo. Whether you are a true newcomer, or a long time reader who finally clicked "Join this Site" just to boost my confidence that this blog really does get read, Welcome and thank you very much. 

Wednesday is Q&A Day. If anything about the Liturgy of the Hours has you scratching your head and wondering what to do next, please put it in a comment and I will do my best to answer. Russell almost had me stumped last week some mysterious shifting psalms in Daytime Prayer, but a little sleuthing through the breviary gave us the solution.

Remember the third book giveaway I announced a couple weeks ago. I announced the winners in the comments section of the giveaway post, and learned that readers don't tend to subscribe to comments! 

So, here's the list of winners again. I also will try to personally email each winner who actually has contact info available. 

The winners: Caroline, DeJanet, MadMaxi, Anon/Theresa, Christina,Anon/JJ, and Peony Moss. Peony,I love your name. You sound like a Beatrix Potter character. A cute little hedgehog or mouse, perhaps. 

Update:I'll make it easy on you email thesockeys"at" gmail "dot"com.

One more thing. After giving a pitch for Divineoffice.org yesterday, I forgot to tell you how to vote for them. So please follow this link to do that.

Vote for Divine Office.org!

While you wait for you state primary to roll around, there is another kind of voting you should do.

Once again, DivineOffice.org: it's website, pocasts, and various breviary apps, has made finalist in the About.com Reader's Choice contest  for Catholic new media.

You may vote for any or all of these items once a day, every day, from now until March 21st.

I urge you to do so, especially if you have benefited from any of these wonderful products.

I also urge you to do so if you don't use DivineOffice.org  because by winning this award, more Catholics will take notice (when they go to look up the winners) of the Liturgy of the Hours. Maybe some of them will say something like, "Hmmmm. I've heard about the Liturgy of the Hours before. I know I should try it, but have been putting that off. But if an online breviary is so popular that it wins a contest, that means lots of people are praying it these days. And if lots of people are managing to do this, then so should I."

So, by voting for Divineoffice.org, you aren't just promoting a website/podcast/app. You are helping spread the good news of the public prayer of the Church.

Does that make sense? Then please go and vote.
