The Monastic Diurnal
Or, DAY HOURS OF THE MONASTIC BREVIARY
According to the Holy Rule of Saint Benedict
With Additional Rubrics and Devotions for its Recitation
In Accordance with The Book of Common Prayer
Edited by Canon Charles Winfred Douglas
| This book is an English translation of the Day Hours from the Breviarium Monasticum published at Bruges in 1925 after extensive revision and restoration by its Benedictine editors.
The Monastic Office was first set forth in all of its essential features and in much of its detail about the year 535 A.D. in the Holy Rule of St. Benedict, the father of Western monasticism. It was the first complete and enduring order of daily praise and prayer in European Christendom. For fourteen hundred years it has voiced the worship of an ever-increasing circle of devout men and women. It came to England with St. Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, and it was the Prayer Book of those who more than any other group of Religious formed and influenced the Church of England – men such as St. Wilfrid, St. Benedict Biscop, the Venerable Bede, St. Dunstan, St. Anselm. For centuries the Archbishops of Canterbury wore the Benedictine habit, and many of the greater English cathedrals resounded with Benedictine praise. The Monastic Office was planned from the first for busy men, working at both mental and manual labour. Its recitation was called by St. Benedict the Work of God, ‘Opus Dei’; the primary spiritual labour ‘to which nothing is to be preferred’. – From the Preface To assist you in the daily prayers, there is a Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=41189849229 ) to help you with the daily prayers. |
