“Anglicans pray the entire Book of Psalms 12 times a year!” Do we? What about February?
The monthly Psalter is divided up into 30 Days (half during Morning Prayer, half during Evening Prayer). The tradition is to repeat Day 30 on the 31st day in months that have one.
Here’s and idea for February: when February has only 28 days, pray the Psalms for Day 29 on either January or March 31st (we need not concern ourselves with a “Feb. 30” reading because Day 30 is repeated on the rest of the months with 31 days)—then we’ll truly pray the entire Psalter 12 times a year.
