The 30-Day Cycle of Psalms

Reading through the Psalms each month is a traditional Christian practice, and a good excuse to write a cli app in Rust.

This is a learning project. Also, it's a work in progress. The logic is in place for a (bad) first implementation but grunt work remains to be done.

Usage

On the 1st or 11th of the month, run the command psalms in a terminal. Text for the daily office psalm propers for that day (morning and evening) will be displayed.

But not really because I haven't finished even those days 😅

Use of Psalms in the Daily Office

The recitation of the Psalms is central to daily worship throughout the whole of Christian Tradition. Anglicanism at the time of the Reformation established that the entire Psalter should be read in the Daily Office once each month, according to the pattern printed with this Lectionary. Contemporary practice sometimes lessens the number of the daily psalms, which practice is permissible as long as the entire Psalter is regularly read. For any day, the psalms appointed may be reduced in number according to local circumstance. If there is only one office, the psalms may be drawn from those appointed for Morning or Evening that Day. If a two month cycle of psalms is desired, the Morning psalms may be read in one month and the Evening psalms in the next. When there is a thirty-first day of the month, psalms from the Psalms of Ascents, Psalms 120 to 134, are used.
