| divine office prayers: Daily Prayer in the Early Church Paul F. Bradshaw, 2008-10-01 'In liturgical study, and especially in English liturgical study, the subject of the daily office has always been something of the poor relation', writes the author in his preface. This volume aims to do something to fill that gap. It begins with a detailed examination of the Jewish background and of the practice of daily prayer in the first three centuries of the Church, and goes on to trace the evolution of the divine office in both its monastic and secular forms in East and West down to the time of St. Benedict. Intended as a replacement forThe Influence of the Synagogue upon the Divine Officeby C. W. Dugmore (Alcuin Club Collection No. 45), it not only incorporates the results of recent research by continental scholars and others but also challenges traditional assumptions at a number of important points, offering a fresh interpretation of the evidence. |

| divine office prayers: Reform Yourself! Shaun McAfee, 2017 The sixteenth-century Catholic Church was definitely in need of reform. Too many of its leaders were worldly and corrupt; too many of the faithful were living in laxity or ignorance. Unfortunately, Protestantism brought revolution rather than reform, but the saints who rose up in response to it helped renew and transform the Church for generations to come. Our own souls, too, are in constant need of reform, of re-conversion to God and his will for us. We struggle with sin, we become distracted in prayer, we find it hard to be loving and easy to be selfish. In Reform Yourself!, Shaun McAfee (founder of Epic Pew and author of Filling Our Father s House) shows you how these magnificent saints can be guides in your own personal transformation. Drawing upon the saints writings, works, and life events, Reform Yourself! reveals in each of them a model of a particular virtue or grace that we all need along with practical tips for imitating them in our own lives--Page 4 of cover. |

| divine office prayers: Celtic Daily Prayer The Northumbria Community, 2002-02-19 The Ancient Paths of Northumbria in northeastern England have been trod by generations of men and women who loved God and followed Jesus, bringing faith, hope, and love to vast numbers of people. Today, the Northumbria Community remains a living expression of this monastic, contemplative stream of the faith, and the perennial need to make that faith relevant to the world. Celtic Daily Prayer is the fruit of the spiritual life of a remarkable community. Its liturgies, prayers, and meditations are drawn from a deep well of spiritual experience that transcends fashion, culture, and denomination. Blending prayer and praise and building upon the ancient wisdom of traditional Celtic Christianity, this prayer book is extraordinarily fresh. At the heart of the life of the Northumbria Community, as well as this book, lies the Daily Office -- morning, noon, and evening prayers and a monthly cycle of meditations for individual or communal use each day. With words drawn from sources such as St. Patrick's Breastplate, Teresa's Bookmark, Columba's Blessing, and the Psalms, this cycle of daily prayers reflects the essential rhythms of life. With liturgies for communion and other special occasions as well as daffy readings, this prayer book contains two complete years of scripture readings and a calendar of saints' days and festivals. The Jewish tradition of family Shabbat, adapted with prayers from the Celtic tradition, also finds its place in this book. A section on rites of passage suggests prayers and rituals for the pivotal times of life: birth, rebirth, marriage, midlife, and bereavement, as well as blessings and graces for all occasions. This traditionally grounded yet surprisingly modem prayer book will enrich the spiritual life of readers for years to come. |
| divine office prayers: The Breviary Explained Pius Parsch, 2023-09-19 Fr Pius Parsch, one of the most eminent members of the original Liturgical Movement, furnishes us in this book with an unmatched guide to the riches of the (preconciliar) Breviary of the Catholic Church. To quote from the author himself:The Breviary is the official prayerbook of the Church. The Holy Ghost and the Church have been working on it for more than 3,000 years, and it has become the basic book of prayer, a precious common fund to which the great men of prayer from every age have contributed their thoughts and sentiments. The two chief objectives which the breviary fulfills are: it is the prayer of the Church as a body, and it is a guide to genuine spiritual growth for the individual soul.In private prayer I pray, mostly, for myself and my own affairs. It is the isolated person who stands in the centre of the action, and the prayer is more or less individualized. But in liturgical prayer, and therefore in the breviary, it is not primarily I who am praying, but the Church, the bride of Christ. The object of her prayer is broader, too: all the needs of God's kingdom here on earth. In liturgical prayer, I feel more like a member of a great community, like a little leaf on the great living tree of the Church. I share her life and her problems. The Church is praying through my mouth, I offer her my tongue to pray with her for all the great objectives of redemption, and for God's honour and glory. We weep, too, or rather the Church weeps through our tears, together with those who weep, rejoices through our joys together with those who rejoice, does penance with the repentant. All the sentiments of Holy Mother Church find their echo in our heart. This gives a deeper content to our prayer; we spread out far beyond our own selves. |

| divine office prayers: The 1942 Divine Office Jacob Criostoir, 2019-01-30 Second only to the Holy Mass, in which the Most Blessed Eucharist is consecrated for God's Church, the Divine Office has been traditionally considered to be the most important and holy of spiritual practices. The Divine Office is based upon old Hebrew tradition of praying to God seven times per day. While this may seem similar to the Muslim practice of praying five times per day, our tradition dates back much further. The first recorded use of the Divine Office, as we Catholics would know it, was in roughly 80 AD, where the Roman historian Pliny the Younger noticed that Christians would set aside parts of the day to pray the Our Father and Psalms. By the third and fourth centuries, Church Fathers began to incorporate prayers and lessons into the traditional Hebrew prayer hours. These prayer hours are mentioned in the Gospels and in the book of Acts, but the Divine Offices creation can be attributed to the early monastic communities in both Europe and the Middle East. |

| divine office prayers: The Divine Office: A Study of the Roman Breviary Edward J. Quigley, 2022-05-28 Reverend Edward J. Quigley's 'The Divine Office: A Study of the Roman Breviary' presents a meticulous exploration of the cornerstone of canonical hours in Christian liturgical tradition. This scholarly work traverses the historical evolution, significance, and ceremonial structure of the Breviary, a compendium of hymns, psalms, and prayers that constitute the liturgical fabric of the divine office. The text exhibits a thoughtful composition, interweaving liturgical exegesis with a pedagogic style suitable for collegiate novitiates. The reverential tone and comprehensive analysis found within its pages situate it as a pivotal resource among contemporary studies of ecclesiastic traditions and practices. A product of enduring faith and academic rigor, Quigley's guide draws from his extensive experience and education within the ecclesial community. His background, likely steeped in theological studies, pastoral work, and a commitment to the dissemination of church teachings, lays the foundation for this authoritative instruction. Quigley's intentions perhaps stem from a desire to enlighten the clergy's future generations about the intricate beauty and theological depths of the Breviary, ensuring its principles remain embedded in the daily life of the Church. 'The Divine Office' is an essential primer for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the Roman Breviary and the canonical hours. Its academic integrity and didactic nature render it particularly invaluable to seminarians and the clergy, yet it also extends an inviting hand to lay individuals earnest in expanding their knowledge of liturgical devotion. Quigley offers readers an insightful passage into the heart of the Church's daily rhythm of prayer, instilling an appreciation for the transcendent dialogue sustained between the faithful and the divine. |

| divine office prayers: The Divine Office E. J. Quigley, 2014-01-17 The most important prayer that the Church offers to Almighty God after the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the Officium Divinum, or Divine Office, contained in a liturgical book called the Breviarium Romanum, or Roman Breviary. In fact, the Mass is part of the Divine Office, and they are so intertwined in the public liturgy of the Church that one is really incomplete without the other. This same Office is chanted by monks in traditional monasteries and nuns in traditional convents, and is recited by members of lay orders and devout Catholic faithful. To give praise and glory to God throughout the hours of the day in the name of the Church, the clergy are placed under the duty of praying it daily. From this fact, it is called the Office, the word in this sense coming from the Latin word officium, meaning duty. Recent popes, like Pope St. Pius X and Pope Pius XII, have encouraged the laity to participate in saying the Office as well and for this reason have bestowed rich indulgences upon those of the faithful who do so. The Divine Office itself is made up of the 150 psalms of the Old Testament, so divided throughout the seven days of the week that all the psalms are recited in one week. The psalms, the divinely-inspired poetical prayers, principally of King David, have always been the center of the Church's liturgical worship, just as they were at the temple during Old Testament times. Besides the psalms, there are readings from Sacred Scripture, commentaries on Sacred Scripture from the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and short accounts of the lives of the Saints. These readings follow the Church's calendar of liturgical seasons and feasts of the Saints. St. Vincent de Paul (1581?-1660) tells us that the Divine Office is the school of all virtues. The master who teaches us in it is the Holy Ghost, the source of all truth; it is also the Prophets, Apostles, and Saints of God. The Divine Office is divided into eight Hours, according as God is to be praised continuously throughout the hours of the day. If one observes the ancient times, Matins and Lauds are prayed before sunrise. Prime, Terce, Sext, and None are prayed during the first, third, sixth, and ninth hours of daylight. (For example, Scripture tells us that Our Lord hung on the cross from the sixth to the ninth hour, that is, from 12:00 to 15:00.) Vespers is said as dusk falls, followed by Compline, which completes the day and the cycle of hours. However, the Hours may be said at any time at one's convenience. |
| divine office prayers: The Divine Office Catholic Church, Icel, 2006-03-31 Continuing the tradition of centuries, The Divine Office is the Catholic liturgy for morning prayer, prayer during the day, and evening prayer, for every day of the year.

This edition comes in an attractive binding with ribbon marker.
