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.
Glad that I purchased this very sweet little book that can lead you to Heaven. It fits perfectly in your hand, is quite attractive and smart, and most importantly, contains a fairly down-to-earth liturgy of the hours for the lay Catholic, Our Lady's Breviary. It still has a learning curve to figure out what to say when, but the book is beautifully organized to assist you in that effort, and even suggests times as to when to do each set of prayers. The Liturgy for the Holy Souls is a nice bonus. I wish it had a little ribbon or such to keep the sections for you, such as traditional breviaries have, but to be fair, it's really not necessary since the book is so compact (and yet still is easy to see without having to squint at fine print). The book came quickly and well-packaged. A good buy!
I was hoping this would have more step by step rubrics for praying the Little Office, much like the GIRM has for the Mass.
Got it delivered just in time, went thru it and its a wonderful little piece of catholic devotion. Definitely will be buying again. Thanks
I have used about five different Little Offices of the BVM in my lifetime and now that I've joined the Carmelite Tertiaries and pray the whole thing daily, I like this one the best. I'm comfortable with the translation, it is easy to use and learn the Latin. I bought a second one for a friend to use if they want to pray with me. So, thank you!
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.
