Daytime Prayer from Catholic Book Publishing

[@Reddishbrownhorse]

I agree with CBP producing hideous art that is at the same time charming. The LotH suffers from an overall pedestrian translation but I find very easy to use. I own only the 4 volume set but I like the fact they offer one volume options of Christian Prayer, Shorter Christian Prayer, Daytime Prayer, and Night Prayer.

I love having all the music selections in Christian Prayer. I’ve learned I prefer to pray in modern English and this gets it done. Perhaps because Christian Prayer was my first breviary, it is comforting to me to return to regularly.

One might expect Catholica Book to publish a stand-alone Office of Readings.

​@dalecaldwell The Daughters of St. Paul did but it is now out of print and copies that are being sold are highly sought after and pricey.

Love your videos Dale.I’m an Ordinariate Catholic, I would love to see you go through more of that material at some point. Roman Catholicism + Anglicanism is beautiful.

PS, when my wife and I pray from Christian prayer we skip those horrible “psalm prayers”.

I recently got my hands on a 1956 Dutch missal (Gebed zonder end, for interested Dutch speaking people reading this). There are graphics in there with an eerily similar art style. Despite the art, I really like the translation of the verses that are present in the missal. It’s sad to see that the Bible translation used for the missal is no longer available in print. For daily use I still haven’t found anything that can beat the Anglican Office Book, even though it isn’t in my native tongue. Thanks for the video. Wishing you a blessed week. God bless, Dale.

I had never seen the contents of Daily Prayer before, so it is a pleasant surprise that you posted a video about this volume. Alas, the reason I haven't purchased the Saint Bernard Breviary is that in late Spring I purchased the 4 Volume Divine Office. If I knew then what I know now, I would have purchased the three volume Collins Divine Office instead. No 1970s artwork in the Collins. The translations used are a little bit better than in the 4 Volume set. Even the Collins one volume versions are better. All I use the 4 Volume Set for is the Office of Readings. Even then, I could have just used what is in Benedictine Daily Prayer, A Short Breviary. I read the Sermons and Legends in the Anglican Breviary every day, but I like to read sermons in the Morning and in the Evening, so that is why I have other breviaries. Alas, I have buyer's remorse! I wish I had not purchased the 4 Volume Divine Office. It set me back for the whole year as far as buying books. I haven't used it very much. I liked it in the 1990s, but I was won over by the Anglican Breviary and the Anglican Office Book. I don't want to sell the 4 Volume Set at the local Half-Life Books store because they will probably give me only $20 for it, then sell it for $100 or $120. Live and learn, as they say.

Thank you for posting this. At $100 a volume, you make me glad that I purchased the one volume Anglican breviary rather than the four volume RC set. While I love my 1962 RC Missal, I have to say that I like the Anglican translations into English a bit better. Don't even get me started on the modern, dumbed down books. There is a Lutheran Breviary that I used for a while, "The Brotherhood Prayer Book". It is somewhere between a breviary and an actual prayer book. It is a German book translated into English and seems to be part of the new process of Lutherans re-finding their Catholic heritage after 500 years of Calvinist corruption.

eBay has Lit of Hours sets from $64.00 all the way to $250.

I prefer a one week psalter. Four week is too thin. Plus they removed the cursing psalms, and edited several more.

[@crazyfaith77]

I agree. The new Liturgy of hours is to easy and watered down. Also they remove those psalms you are talking about.

For those of us who are not as familiar with the pre-Vatican II Roman Breviary, the post-Vatican II LOTH, Christian Prayer, Shorter Christian Prayer, and the like, this COULD have been interesting and informative, but, unfortunately, you were just flipping through pages randomly and rambling. What was your point again?

[@dalecaldwell]

@manfredcaranci6234 My apologies. I was just sharing my surprise at the thoroughness of Daytime Prayer. May I recommend this video about Christian Prayer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npfSl2OJh9GroJIsi=X6osR8De5ssFiJwn

[@genemyersmyers6710]

The art work offends me deeply .

[@loveisall5520]

And I love it! As the ancient say says, over taste, there is no dispute.
