Liturgia Horarum (4 vols.)

The Latin edition provides the authoritative source language text of the Liturgy of the Hours. Similar to the English, the resource itself contains all the non-Biblical text for the liturgy and allows you to view the Biblical text in any translation in your library, including the Nova Vulgata. The Liturgy of the Hours, together with the Mass, constitutes the official public prayer life of the Catholic Church. A canonical obligation for Catholic clergy and the basis of prayer for monastic and religious life, the Liturgy of the Hours also incorporates a wide participation of laity across the world. It’s also known as the Divine Office and informally referred to as the breviary, although many other modern breviaries exist in other traditions as well.
