It is so good I now have both the Leather edition and the eBook. I picked up the eBook version for when on the go. And use the leather one at home. But before we get to the contents of the book. The leather edition is very well made. I have used it every day for a few months now and you cannot even tell it has been used. No spine cracking, or splitting. Excellent stitched pages, with cloth spine and headband. Gold gilded fore edge. And very nice thick heavy weight pages. No onion paper here that will tear and get damaged easily. It is a beautiful book made with skill and care. But stepping aside from the physical production to the contents.\r\n\r\nThe subtitle of this book is ‘Traditional Catholic Daily Prayer’ and it is a wonderful prayer book. The description of the book is:\r\n\r\n“The Baltimore Catechism formed generations of Catholics and provided a solid foundation in the faith for millions. In recent decades, it has enjoyed a renaissance among traditional-minded Catholics, yet few know that the Plenary Council which produced it, the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, also produced a Manual of Prayers (Imprimatur 1888). This present volume, based on the prayers in that manual, bears the newly-coined name Little Office of Baltimore. With its peculiarly and unmistakable American pedigree, coupled with the fact that it preceded the extensive changes to the Divine Office that occurred throughout the 20th century, it is sure to be welcomed by today’s more traditional-minded English-speaking laity as well as those interested in historical Catholicism. It retains a strong connection to the traditional Roman office which can be traced back, in its essentials, to Saint Benedict. Relying principally on the prayers found in the Manual, when necessary the compiler supplemented with material gleaned from the English translation of the Roman breviary by the Marquis de Bute (Imprimatur 1903). The result: a beautiful new resource for those seeking to deepen their prayer lives or just a greater connection to Traditional American Catholicism.”\r\n\r\nAnd the chapters are:\r\n\r\nIntroduction\r\nDaily Offices\r\nMatins\r\nLauds\r\nPrime\r\nTerce\r\nSext\r\nNone\r\nVespers\r\nCompline\r\nPropers Of The Season\r\nAdvent\r\nChristmastide\r\nEpiphany\r\nPost-Epiphany And Septuagesima\r\nLent And Passiontide\r\nEastertide\r\nAscensiontide\r\nPentecost\r\nTrinity Sunday\r\nCorpus Christi\r\nPost-Pentecost\r\nThanksgiving\r\nFor Saints And Angels\r\nFor The Blessed Virgin\r\nFor The Holy Angels\r\nFor The Church And The Saints\r\nPsalms For Various Occasions\r\nDuring Sickness\r\nSorrow For Sin\r\nConfidence In God\r\nBewailing Our Miseries\r\nPrayer For Deliverance\r\nPraise\r\nSongs Of Joy\r\nThanksgiving\r\nIn Trouble\r\nFor Superiors\r\nIn Disquietude Of Mind\r\nShortness Of This Life\r\nThe Good And The Wicked\r\nExcellence Of God’s Law\r\nHistorical\r\nSeeking After God\r\nFor Holy Communion\r\n\r\nThis is one of those books I know I will be using for years to come. I have a few other prayer books in both physical and eBook edition. But this one with the Daily office is much more in depth than either of the others. The Little Office of Baltimore is based on the prayers found in the Manual of Prayers (Imprimatur 1888) and from the Bute Breviary (Imprimatur 1903) which was produced by the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore. The book is infused with faith. It looks and feels like a prayer book your grandparent or even great grandparent would have handed down. \r\n\r\nThis is a wonderful book.

The Baltimore Catechism formed generations of Catholics and provided a solid foundation in the faith for millions. In recent decades, it has enjoyed a renaissance among traditional-minded Catholics, yet few know that the Plenary Council which produced it, the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, also produced a manual of prayers (Imprimatur 1888).

This present volume, based on the prayers in that manual, bears the newly-coined name Little Office of Baltimore. With its peculiarly and unmistakable American pedigree, coupled with the fact that it preceded the extensive changes to the Divine Office that occurred throughout the 20th century, it is sure to be welcomed by today’s more traditional-minded English-speaking laity as well as those interested in historical Catholicism.

It condenses the much larger edition of The Office of Baltimore into a beautiful, compact prayerbook to take with you throughout the day. Containing prayers for the traditional hours as well as the saints, the Blessed Mother, and Psalms for various occasions, this edition will quickly become your daily prayerbook. It is the perfect gift for someone who has just entered the Church or has received Confirmation.

The Little Office of Baltimore especially appeals to today’s more traditional-minded English-speaking laity and those interested in historical Catholicism.

It retains a strong connection to the traditional Roman office which can be traced back, in its essentials, to Saint Benedict. Relying principally on the prayers found in the manual, when necessary the compiler supplemented with material gleaned from the English translation of the Roman breviary by the Marquis de Bute (Imprimatur 1903).

The result is a beautiful new resource for those seeking to deepen their prayer lives or just a greater connection to Traditional American Catholicism.

ENDORSEMENTS

“This is a charming little book made of refreshing poems inspired by the liturgy, and of stimulating pictures drawn mainly from monastic life. One should leisurely enjoy it and let it affect peace in the soul of an evening.”
Fr. Francis Bethel, OSB
