I can help out with this one. I try to go to Mass every morning. Rarely do I let something interfere with that kick-start for my day (not trying to gloat here, just offering a personal account of a daily Mass). The daily Mass is not required, so there are a lot fewer people there. Also, there's little or no singing (at least in my parish). We still do the readings ... one from the Old Testament (usually. Can be from NT), one Psalm, and then the Gospel. Sunday's have 4 readings (usually one OT, one NT, Psalm and Gospel). We still get a homily and the Eurcharist. With the lack of singing and the fact that there aren't a lot of people in line for the Eurcharist, the daily Mass is usually over in about half an hour.
I thought I asked this a while ago, but I can't find the post anywhere. Does anyone have a link to an online version of the Vulgate or Douay-R ?
