Shorter Christian Prayer: The Four-Week Psalter of the Liturgy of the Hours Containing Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer With Selections for the Entire Year (Leather Bound) Review

Like an earlier reviewer, I also own the four-volume set of the Liturgy of the Hours.I do enjoy the additional readings and the somewhat nerdy activity of finding my way around the complete liturgy. But for pure prayer value, "Shorter Christian Prayer" is the book.It has the entire four-week psalter for the key prayers of the day, Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer, as well as the same Night Prayers as the larger volumes. What it is missing are the special readings and intercessions for feasts and memorials--but even those special days are built around the same psalms printed here.For me, on my commute, Shorter Christian Prayer is less distracting and much nicer in the hand than the standard Christian Prayer or Liturgy of the Hours.It has larger print than either.It has the gospel canticles printed on the inside covers, a brilliant idea.Plus it is a LOT cheaper.

Psalms and Canticles: Meditations and Catechesis on the Psalms and Canticles of Morning Prayer (Paperback) Review

I've been interested inthe psalms for some time, but the whole Liturgy of the Hours, with certain psalms for certain seasons, weeks, days, and times of day overwhelms me. But this book, concentrating only on the morning portion of the "Hours," is organized for straight-through use (no page flipping). Though John Paul II writes clearly, this work is for studying, not reading. The introduction alone, a mere six pages, contains in-depth history of Church practices involving the psalms, all informative and inviting. Similar material is presented (under numbered paragraphs to make for easier digestion) with each psalm and canticle. In the end, I see this as a wonderful text for individuals and groups willing to make a serious commitment to prayer and learning over an extended period.

Product Description:
In this volume, John Paul II devotes himself to promoting the Liturgy of the Hours as a prayer of the People of God. The Holy Father provides enlightening reflections on each of the psalms and canticles, leading the reader to deeper meditation and understanding. As prayers the psalms take us through the whole range of life experiences. These reflections, originally delivered at the Pope's weekly Wednesday audiences, will be an invaluable companion to those who pray the breviary or simply love the scriptures.For your convenience, this book contains the Psalms and Canticles of the four week cycle of Morning Prayer. The informative and inviting introduction contains an in-depth history of Church practices involving the psalms.
'. . . the Book of Psalms remains the ideal source of Christian prayer and will continue to inspire the Church in the new millennium.'From the introduction by John Paul II.

Liturgy of the Hours - Morning & Evening Prayer: December 2009 (Kindle Edition) Review

This kindle book was the best gift in our house this Christmas!My brother is 82 years old, a Catholic priest, and suffering from low vision due to macular degeneration.We gave him the kindle for Christmas and its enlarged print was a great help to him.The arrival of John L. Davis' "Liturgy of the Hours" made the gift just about perfect.He has been unable to pray his breviary prayers in recent months, and has found this particular version to be particularly inspiring.What a disappointment to find that January is unavailable!Please do whatever you can to help us get this book for those who so appreciate it!I, too, would gladly purchase the whole year at once.
