🔔 Terce #LiturgyOfTheHours

Mark 15:25 #TheGospelOfMark

📖(VGCLEM):  Erat autem hora tertia: et crucifixerunt eum.
📖(NRSVue): It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.

Let your prayers be made at “the third hour”; for then it was that Pilate gave sentence upon our Lord and savior to have him crucified…. Let your prayers be made also at the sixth hour; for at that time he was crucified…. We observe also “the ninth hour” of prayer; for at that time the sun was darkened and the earth shaken with horror, as being not able to look upon those bitter cruelties.
- The Apostolic Constitutions (AD 375)
