Focusing on the Traditional Benedictine Office in accordance with the 1963 Benedictine calendar and rubrics, including the Farnborough edition of the Monastic Diurnal.
The important thing is to have the Ordo I put up on the site each week next to you, and when there is a major feast, have a quick flcik through the MD rubrics section in advance. The next biggie of course is Pentecost, but over these next few days, do watch out for the Ordinary of Ascensiontide!

When I went to say Prime this morning, I realized I had some confusion.
What Hymn, Chapter and Response should I have said? The ones for the feast day or the regular ones for Thursdays?
I was especially confused because I saw that the Little Hours all have special ones for Ascension.
I reviewed the tutorial, but still need clarity.
As a beginner, I know now that I should have reviewed before the actual day; I’ll know better for next time!
Thanks for your help!
At Prime, the only thing that ever changes on a feast is the antiphon, and for today that should have been aleluia etc.
It is only Terce, Sext and None that have chapters etc for the day.
Hmm, perhpas I need to spell out more in the Ordo note!
Thanks, Terra!
It's probably just me having the confusion -- I have menopausal brain fog like you wouldn't believe!
Sorry tht isn't very clear - the normal alleluia should have been replaced by the antiphon for the feast, Viri Galilaei
And expat, I doubt you are alone on this!
