Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Angelus Press

SKU: 8628  |  ISBN: 9781937843199

The best prayer is the prayer of the Church. Here it is—simpler than the Breviary, but essentially the same. Pray the inspired psalms of the Holy Ghost. Around since the 8th century. Hated by heretics, loved by friends of Our Lady. Recited by Saints John Damascene, Catherine of Siena, Vincent Ferrer, Louis of France, Bridget of Sweden, and many more.

The text of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Office of the Dead is that of the 1915 Benziger Brothers edition with updated punctuation and slight rewording of some familiar passages in English. The content of the Offices was revised in conformity with the norms of the typical edition of the Roman Breviary published in 1961.

Completely re-typeset with the Latin and English text on facing pages. Angelus Press offers this beautiful edition to the faithful as an eminently readable and truly affordable format.

264 pp. 4" x 6". Printed in red and black text. Gold foil stamped, black,flexible softcover with rounded corners.

Great translation.

I had been through two other versions before loving this translation of the Little Office. Easy to use and perfect size. The only downside is that the gold lettering on the front has wiped away. Not sure if there is a fix, but is a minor flaw. Now it looks well used❤️

Overall Very Satisfied

It’s a beautiful and convenient little book of prayers. Very good for chanting the psalms in Latin. Going to be very useful during the school year!

No complaints

What a beautiful little book is this, both inside and outside. As one recently introduced to the TLM and detoxing from the NO I’m extremely grateful for this book and every other one I’ve published from Angelus Press.
I found the Little Office to be user friendly after a little guidance from the internet. It’s full of beautiful prayers and I can take it with me wherever I go. Being devoted to Our Lady is something I’ve wanted and hopefully this book will help me obtain that.
Ribbon, gold printing binding are not a hindrance for me. The words inside is what’s most important.

Wonderful reprint, would love it in a sturdier binding

I love the Angelus Press LOBVM because of the big print, the chant markers, and the Office of the Dead. However, I wish the binding were hardcover and sewn.
The soft cover and glue binding are inexpensive, but not strong enough for everyday use.
Please consider publishing a version with a heavy-duty binding!

Gratitude

The introduction and format are very helpful, simple, and straightforward.
It is an extra gift to see the Latin, and so to grow more into its use.
A beautiful way to honor Our Lady!
