Description

Benedictine Daily Prayer A Short Breviary is an everyday edition of the Divine Office for those who wish to pray with the Church in a simple manner. Based on 1,500 years of liturgical prayer within the Benedictine monastic tradition, this fully revised second edition offers a rich diet of classic office hymnody, psalmody, and Scripture. The book includes a new organization for the Office of Vigils, structured on a two-week cycle, as well as daily offices arranged in the same way. Patristic readings are provided for each Sunday, along with concluding prayers for the daily and seasonal offices. A more user-friendly layout and slightly taller format make it easy to use. Suitable for Benedictine oblates, monastics, and anyone seeking a simple prayer practice, this book is arranged by date and features Scripture readings from the NRSV.
