CountrySteve21 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Does anyone else here pray the Little Office? I just recently started praying it and I have found it to be a blessing for my spiritual life. The copy I have says it first originated around 720 AD. My copy is also in Latin with English translation, which I find to be a blessing. I have found praying it has brought me into contact with a ancient tradition.

Nihil Obstat Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I did for a time, but lost steam. I do intend to pick it up again though. Do you have the Baronius edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use that Office book (it's a little blue one) on Saturday's, feasts, and solemnities of Our Lady. Otherwise I use the other Office books. It is really beautiful.

Guest Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 When I was travelling buses to and from voluntary work in the city, I used the Little Office of Our Lady on the bus - it was small and fitted into my bag easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the Baronius edition? I do. Its been helpful for me in learning how to pray in Latin, plus learning to read Gregorian chant notation. I usually just pray Prime and Compline from it or Lauds and Vespers. I hope you pick it up again! I've found liturgical prayer like the Office will form your spiritual life for the better.
