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.
Nice clean layout. Reminds me a lot of the '62 missal, which is likewise easy to follow along with (once you get the hang of it).
Disappointed with the exterior, though. The gold print rubbed off noticeably, and almost completely on the spine, after only one day of carrying it around.
It is a beautiful book and pleasant texture of the paper, font is legible and clear. I really appreciate red and black texts, especially at night when I’m super tired. Easier on the eyes. I do like it very much.
Tabs or ribbons would be helpful.
This is my new favorite Latin-English prayerbook. I love how you can follow the Latin and English at the same time. It's pretty easy to follow, just remember it follows the 1962 Liturgical Calendar (i.e. "from Christmas to Candlemas"). I like how it's shorter and simpler than the whole Divine Office, yet still with the essence of the Church's public prayer. And it's pocket-sized, so I can take it almost anywhere! A really good value, with beautiful prayers, for a reasonable price! :)
I like the translation and it is well made for a paperback. I always buy books I value in hardcover, I wish that option were available here. Very glad to have both the Latin and the english available!
I bought this Office for a gentleman at Mass who leads our rosary before Mass every Sunday.
