#Breviarium romanum 1962 edition of the roman code
There is much to be said in favor of quality hand-missals that can be used year after year, but there is also something to be said for this sort of monthly magazine. In 1960, a new code of rubrics for the Missal and the Breviary were promulgated. Surely there will be naysayers who question the value of such a publication when a plethora of single-volume, traditional hand-missals already exists. (The Hours of Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline) The psalms only for the hour of Matins have been included.

This work contains the Day-Hours for the 1962 Roman Breviary. Morning and Evening Devotions (excerpts from Lauds & Vespers of the 1960 Breviarium Romanum)ĭaily Meditations (writings from saints, scholars, and spiritual masters)Ĭommentary (short essays on feasts & saints)Ĭlassic Prayers (devotional prayers in Latin & English)Īrtwork (a high-quality print and separable holy card in each issue)Ī sample issue of Benedictus is available for viewing here. The Divine Office is presented in both Latin and English, in parallel columns. The new Benedictus booklet promises to include much more than the daily Mass texts.

Their work is a blessing to the Church (and has been highlighted on Views from the Choir Loft here and here).īeginning in August 2021, something similar will be available for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. At once high-quality and disposable, this publication has a wide readership and has been instrumental in the spiritual growth of many people. OR MANY years, the monthly Magnificat magazine has served as a popular “hand-missal” for Mass-goers in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
