It takes at least 30 minutes to pray the morning Divine Office. Your thoughts?

I used to go to a Mass at lunchtime on the Air Force base where I worked that would take about 20 minutes. It’s a weekday, and people have jobs ... or at least they used to. Of course he was only getting three old ladies and a disabled duffer at 9:00 a.m.!

When I compare it to our little Sunday Tridentine rite (Low Mass with no choir and 20 or so parisioners), which lasts around 70 minutes, something has got to be missing. I wouldn't trust any Novus Ordo rendition much less a 15 minute one.

people have to maintain their one-hour fast to receive Holy Communion, attend mass, eat breakfast and commute to work and be on time. I wish they had something like this where I live. For some reason, most parishes do not have daily mass in the evening when everyone is home, I never figured that out. A mass at 6 pm, or 6:30 pm would be great and very-few to none have one.
