The Use of Psalms in the Maronite Tradition

Since this seems to be a question that I am asked pretty frequently, for general edification I shall repost a response of mine below particularly relating to the offices.

Wednesday Safro
Like all the offices, the time it refers to in the day is not limited only to the temporal circumstances of that literal day but to the greater eschatological context. In particular, I refer to a very commonly used image in Syriac tradition - the Lord as the master of the vineyard who hires laborers at different hours of the day and pays everyone equally.
