Vespers

SKU: 8679 | ISBN: 9781937843731

$39.95

Vespers, the traditional evening prayer of the Church, has spiritually sustained the faithful for nearly two millennia. Although painfully absent from parish life since the liturgical reforms of the last century, this newly typeset and edited volume provides everything a parish or individual needs to recite the evening office for Sundays and major feast days according to the rubrics of the 1962 Breviarium Romanum.

In addition to being printed with a dual-column Latin/English text, the book includes the Gregorian melodies necessary for singing Vespers in common; prayers to be said before and after the office; and an extensive introduction on the history of the breviary.

336 pp. 6" x 8.125". Gold foil-stamped hardcover with rounded corners. Sewn binding. Red/Black text. Two ribbons.

Could use some improvements

The book is built well and looks really nice. The psalms are taken from the Douay Rheims (the only Catholic translation of the Bible in English)
Unfortunately, the introduction was copied and pasted from the Compline book and has some obviously wrong information that was meant for the Compline booklet.
The guidance for which page to turn to and how to pray Vespers is definitely lacking. If you are not familiar with how to pray Vespers already, than this book will be hard to follow without having some sort of supplement.
The Compline booklet had nice short "prayer figures" at the head of each psalm. It would be nice if this was carried over into the Vespers book.

EXCELLENCE!

All items were exactly as described & of the utmost quality, carefully packed and delivered in the most timely fashion possible. My next order has already been placed. Thank You & Godspeed!

Really helpful!

Beautifully Bound - A Perfect Vespers Book

After years of using the paper Vespers booklets at our parish church that were falling apart, it is a joy to use this book. The investment is small for the use I get out of it each Sunday at Vespers nowadays! Another beautiful volume from Angelus Press.
