- Oct 13, 2010 But it is longer than the 1962 Roman Breviary. This is a fully approved office for current liturgical use. The Benedictine schema is the same psalmody as that prescribed by Saint Benedict 1500 years ago, but the rest of the Office will be in synch with the modern Liturgy of the Hours.
- He retired in 2000, and, among other things, selflessly devoted hundreds of hours to creating this website, which provides free access to many different versions of the Divine Office (or breviary), the traditional daily prayer book of the Roman Catholic Church. His funeral was held at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Volo, Illinois, on the Feast.
Roman Breviary 1961
The motu proprio of His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, Summorum Pontificum, marked a milestone in the liturgical life of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Pope Benedict XVI came to the See of Rome with a profound knowledge of, and deep appreciation for, the liturgical sciences. His motu proprio established that the Roman Rite is not restricted to one single expression, but that there are indeed two legitimate expressions or 'forms' of the rite. The Church uses as the ordinary form, that which was promulgated by Pope Paul VI. What is now known as the extraordinary form is the rite that was celebrated previous to, and throughout the Second Vatican Council, and is recognized by His Holiness as a priceless gift to the entire people of God. The venerable Sacred Liturgy has always included offices of prayer which serve to sanctify the hours of the day. In order to enrich their prayer life and deepen their celebration of the sublime Mystery of Faith, Summorum Pontificum opened the possibility for the clergy to employ the Latin form of the Breviary in use in 1962, to fulfil their obligation to recite the Divine Office.
It is therefore my pleasure to grant my episcopal approval for this new edition of The Roman Breviary in Latin and English. These handsomely produced volumes will serve those Catholics in the English speaking world who are attached to the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite, by allowing them to enter more deeply into the spiritual riches provided by the older Latin liturgical forms. However, our Holy Father has always insisted on the hermeneutic of continuity and reform, so the Breviary of 1960 will not only be spiritually profitable in and of itself, but it will also help to enrich and deepen understanding and celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours as reformed by Pope Paul VI. The return to print of a bilingual version of this form of the Breviary – which has not been available to the faithful for forty years – has not come too soon, as it will allow those whose Latin is less than fluent to participate more fruitfully in these beautiful and timeless prayers.
