Divine office volume 28/6/2023 ![]() We are currently in the Lenten season, so we will take a look at Volume II. Alternatively, you can order your own wall liturgical calendar that says what day/season it is. In order to find out which season and/or which week we are currently in, go to and click on their calendar. Volume IV contains, “ Ordinary Time, Weeks 18-34.” Volume III contains, “ Ordinary Time, Weeks 1-17.” Volume II contains, “ Lenten Season, Easter Season.” Volume I contains, “ Advent Season, Christmas Season.” There are four volumes and they are split up as such: Before we can set the ribbons, we must figure out which volume we are currently in. As an alternative, you can also check out to order a beautiful customized cover. The next time you find yourself in the Eternal City, be sure to stop by the nearest store to the Vatican’s colonnade. As a note, the best and most durable breviary covers are in Rome. You can tell a lot about a person by what kind of holy cards they keep in their breviary.Īnother reason why you will need holy cards, is to mark certain pages beyond the five ribbons you are given (more on that later). This allows you to personalize your breviary and make it into a traveling devotional that is a summary of your spirituality. An additional bonus to having a breviary cover is the ability to stuff it full of holy cards and supplements to the liturgy of the hours (supplements have texts for new saints). This helps preserve the breviary and keeps it in good shape (besides losing one of my volumes, I have had the same set for over 10 years). ![]() Third, it is highly recommended to purchase a breviary cover. There is the vinyl cover version in different colors as well as the black leather edition with gold-edged pages. Secondly, there are two different editions of the four volume set. It will not be implemented until 2020 at the earliest. This may or may not affect your choice to invest in a new set of breviaries before then. Once again, praying with these leather-bound books can be daunting for someone who does not have any guidance and so that is why I hope to give you a firm foundation that will make it an easy transition.īefore I begin, a few items to note: First of all, the USCCB is in the process of translating the Liturgy of the Hours to correspond to the newly translated Roman Missal. After mastering the one volume Christian Prayer, you may be inclined to go the next step and purchase your own four volume breviary.
