Product Description

For those who want to grow spiritually, Benedictine Daily Prayer provides an everyday edition of the Divine Office. People who desire to pray with the church can do so in a simple manner by following this Benedictine daily prayer model. Based on solid and traditional prayer patterns of more than fifteen hundred years of liturgical prayer within the Benedictine monastic tradition, Benedictine Daily Prayer helps readers celebrate and appreciate God's presence that is found everywhere, especially within the Divine Office. It 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. It's small enough to fit in a briefcase for travel. Scripture readings are from the NRSV.

Great For Travellers 5.00 out of 5

By: Benedictine Bob (Brantford, Ontario, Canada, June 9, 2010) Verified Buyer
Pros: A Great Companion;
Cons: Uses Older "Terms";
Best Uses: DAILY READING;
Describe Yourself: Bookworm;
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is a great addition to any collection of daily prayers. I use the 4 volume Order of Office, daily, but find the "Benedictine Daily Prayer Book" to be a great travelling companion. Because of its compactness, it takes a bit of effort to familiarize oneself with its "layout". The time is well worth it! The times for the hours are from the Benedictine Rule, and took me a few readings to remember them. It is a beautiful book, feels nice in the hands, and is compact. All in all, a great resource.

Wonderful Book of Hours 5.00 out of 5

By: A Benedictine Oblate (Minneapolis, MN, August 13, 2009) Verified Reviewer
Pros: Deserves Multiple Readings; Well Written;
Best Uses: Gift; Older Readers;
Describe Yourself: Bookworm;
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I am so glad this has been published. As a female Benedictine Oblate I appreciate the usage of the NRSV inclusive text. The regular Liturgy of the Hours is a bit old fashioned and dry. The daily readings are excellent and the daily prayers have variations based on a 4 week cycle. This is truly a Benedictine prayer book worth using daily for years to come. It is also a nice size and it feels good in your hand.

Very comprehensive publication 4.00 out of 5

By: Marek (Kitchener, Ontario, CAnada, April 24, 2009) Verified Reviewer
Pros: Easy To Read;
Best Uses: Reference;
Describe Yourself: Casual Reader;
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I use this product for daily prayer, and find fairly easy to navigate. It took about one week to get to know it well as to how this brieviary is arranged and to feel at ease using it. Very comprehesive, all around well arranged.

I'm an oblate. Its my constant companion 5.00 out of 5

Describe Yourself: Bookworm;

As an oblate of St. Meinrad Archabbey, I take very seriously my promise to do the daily hours. This breviary is my constant companion; an indespensible part of my spiritual life.
