Matins in Lutheranism

In the Lutheran Church, Matins is a morning-time liturgical order combining features that were found in the Medieval orders of Matins, Lauds, and Prime. Lutherans in general retained the Order of Matins for use in schools and in larger city parishes throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. The orders experienced a revival in the Confessional Renewal that took place in the 19th century, and now have a stable place in modern Lutheran liturgical books.

Example

A typical order of Matins as found in the Lutheran Service Book, the 2006 hymnal of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.[1]

The Order of Matins is as follows:

gollark: you PENGUINS.
gollark: HAS YOUR NOSE EXPLODED?
gollark: ```haskellimport Data.Listimport Data.Bits fib :: Int -> Integerfib n = snd . foldl_ fib_ (1, 0) . dropWhile not $ [testBit n k | k <- let s = bitSize n in [s-1,s-2..0]] where fib_ (f, g) p | p = (f*(f+2*g), ss) | otherwise = (ss, g*(2*f-g)) where ss = f*f+g*g foldl_ = foldl' -- '```
gollark: import Data.Listimport Data.Bits fib :: Int -> Integerfib n = snd . foldl_ fib_ (1, 0) . dropWhile not $ [testBit n k | k <- let s = bitSize n in [s-1,s-2..0]] where fib_ (f, g) p | p = (f*(f+2*g), ss) | otherwise = (ss, g*(2*f-g)) where ss = f*f+g*g foldl_ = foldl' -- '
gollark: 3.1 Using 2x2 matricesThe argument of iterateabove is a linear transformation, so we can represent it as matrix and compute the nth power of this matrix with O(log n) multiplications and additions.For example, using the simple matrix implementation in Prelude extensions,fib n = head (apply (Matrix [[0,1], [1,1]] ^ n) [0,1])
