Description
The General Instruction of the Liturgy of the Hours, Second Edition, is the essential guide to the daily prayer of the Catholic Church.
This authoritative volume presents the newly approved English translation of The General Instruction of the Liturgy of the Hours for use in the dioceses of the United States. It explains the meaning, structure, and celebration behind each Hour: Matins (the Office of Readings), Lauds (Morning Prayer), the Daytime Hours (Terce, Sext, and None), Vespers (Evening Prayer), and Compline (Night Prayer).
The book shows how the Psalms are prayed in a Christ-centered way, highlighting the importance of a relationship with God. It further explores the role of Sacred Scripture and the influence of the Fathers of the Church and other writers on the readings selected for the Divine Office. Readers also learn the meaning behind silence, song, and communal worship.
Featuring the decrees associated with the renewal and promulgation of the Liturgy of the Hours, along with Pope St. Paul VI’s Apostolic Constitution Laudis Canticum, this book provides engrossing historical context and enduring pastoral guidance. The General Instruction serves all the faithful as an excellent companion for learning to pray the Liturgy of the Hours reverently and fruitfully.
Features include:
- Easy-to-read, one-column layout in red and black inks.
- Space for marginal notes, ideal for study.
Note: Cover, layout, and page count subject to change.
