Learning The New Breviary

Bernard A. Hausmann, S.J.

SKU: 8303  |  ISBN: 9780980208429

Explanation of how to daily pray the 1962 Divine Office The title word "new" is rather misleading today. it refers to the new code of rubrics of 1960 for the traditional Roman Breviary. In this handy, concise and easy-to-read book, Fr. Hausmann leads the reader step by step through each of the eight canonical hours, their contents, special particulars, and how they are said, all the while providing important tips on how to recite the Divine Office with a correct liturgical spirit. An indispensable book for any Catholic who would like to become better acquainted with the traditional Roman Breviary, the Church's liturgical treasure, which, in connection with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, forms the Church's official daily prayer.

A great gift for seminarians, perfect also for any cleric or laic who might want to brush up on their breviary rubrics!

120 pp., saddle-stitched softcover.

Not what I expected

This is a good little booklet explaining some of the intricacies of the Breviary...I think I was looking for something aimed at the laity. Good information, but not a 'how to' guide as I expected.

not for lay

the book was hard to follow and made too many assumptions
