Traditional Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary [Latin-English]

Following suit in the grand tradition of the Church’s liturgical heritage, Roman-Seraphic Books is delighted to present the publication of the Traditional Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in accordance with the rubrics of the St. Pius X 1910 reform. This edition seeks not only to preserve but to rejuvenate a venerable form of prayer that has been the Marian Prayer par excellence of the Mystical Body for countless centuries.

Featuring detailed Gregorian Chant notation for each hymn, this edition facilitates the timeless Tradition of Common and Public Recitation, a practice little seen today at the Parish level, but which used to be the common practice of the Faithful in their devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The chant notation is rendered with precise markings, such as found in your typical Liber Usualies, allowing both the seasoned Choir and the novice chanter to partake in this beautiful offering of praise to the Mother of God.

Accompanying the text are exquisite illustrations for each canonical hour, inviting the faithful into a visual meditation on the mysteries of Our Lady’s participation in the Passion of Our Lord, and the Mysteries associated to each Hour.
