Benedictine Daily Prayer

Benedictine Daily Prayer

A Short Breviary

Benedictine Daily Prayer provides an everyday edition of the Divine Office for people who desire to pray with the church in a simple manner. Based on fifteen hundred years of liturgical prayer with the Benedictine monastic tradition. Benedictine Daily Prayer offers a richer diet of classic office hymnody, psalmody, and Scripture than shorter resources are able to provide.

Benedictine Daily Prayer is designed for Benedictine Oblates, Benedictine monastics, and men and women everywhere. Small enough to fit in a briefcase for travel, it is arranged by date. Scripture readings are from the NRSV.

"Here is a rich source book which will be warmly welcomed by the steadily growing number of people of all denominations who pray the daily monastic office or offices. Beautifully and clearly set out, it is easy to use through days and season. While much of course is familiar usage, many of the readings are new and striking. Here is a compilation for which may will be extremely grateful." Esther De Wall, author of Seeking God: The Way of St. Benedict
