Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"The Mystery of Christ, his Incarnation and Passover, which we celebrate in the Eucharist especially at the Sunday assembly, permeates and transfigures the time of each day through the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours, the Divine Office." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1174) As an exercise of the priestly office of Christ, this public prayer of the Church, undertaken by clergy and lay faithful alike, gives voice to the Bride of Christ addressing her Bridegroom. Indeed, "it is the very prayer which Christ himself together with his Body addresses to the Father." ( Sacrosanctum Concilium, 84) From the Rubrical Directory of Divine Worship: Daily Office (North American Edition) The publication of Divine Worship: Daily Office provides members and friends of the Ordinariate with a wonderful tool for deepening the spiritual bond we share with one another through the offering of a distinct form of prayer that incorporates elements drawn from the Anglican prayerbook tradition. The regular round of daily prayer has been a foundational element for many in the formation of the faith that led them into the full communion of the Catholic Church. This book is intended not only for the private devotion of individuals, but also for the establishment of the daily offering of Morning and Evening Prayer in the parochial communities of the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter as a recognizable feature of its life and ministry. The format of the North American Edition of the Daily Office lends itself to this purpose with its familiar layout and sturdy hardbound construction intended to withstand the wear-and-tear of congregational use and life in the pew racks.
