A Call To Prayer
|
|
What is the most important, valuable, and
efficacious prayer of the Catholic Church?
It's the Divine Office, also known as the Breviary!
This universal prayer is second only to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass itself, and untold graces and
merits flow from its devout recitation.
And yet, for over a thousand years the Roman
Breviary, or Divine Office, has been a mystery to
the average layman.
Available only in Latin, and with rubrics so
complicated they required years of training and
practice to master, the average Catholic was never
able to access this wealth of spiritual nourishment.
Until now...

The complete text of the traditional Roman Breviary
is now available, in both Latin and English, in a
new, easy-to-read formula. Simply choose the
Hour you wish to say, and a quick link takes you to
the complete text of that Office. You just
scroll down and read the Church's prayers for the
day.
|
|
Use your computer or your cell phone to read the
text of the Breviary from the Internet, for so
long the Devil's favorite tool to destroy souls.
Give glory to God and continue the Divine Worship of
the Church, using the Devil's own tool to destroy
him.

Read through the psalms, the hymns and prayers, the
lives of the saints, the daily readings from
scripture, the commentary on the day's Gospel by the
Fathers of the Church. Every day the texts are
accompanied by beautiful works of art, paintings of
Christ, the Blessed Mother and the Saints,
photographs of famous churches, and other pictures
relevant to the feastday.
Not only that, but with a simple mouse click,
you can actually hear most of the text sung by the
great cathedral choirs of England and Europe.

The darkest days of the Church are now upon us.
In these latter days just as in the beginning,
darkness lies upon the face of the deep. But
God has given us the beacon of the Church's prayer
to shine through the darkness: "Thy word is a
lantern unto my feet, and a light unto my paths."
(Ps. 118:105).
|

Join
us on this crusade of prayer, and recite one or more
of the Hours of the Liturgy each day. May our
prayers rise up as incense before the throne of God,
that the faith of the Church may be strengthened and
spread, "to be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and
to be the glory of Thy people Israel"
(from the Nunc Dimittis,
sung every night at the Office of Compline).
