I’ve been wanting to get the BR, but it seems hard to find. Does anyone have the publication by Fraternity? Good, bad? Please help.
 
I don’t have it, but it’s the one the FSSP use. It’s entirely in Latin, so unless you know Latin it’s going to be exceptionally difficult to use. You also need to obtain a copy of the rubrics.

My SD recommend I use the Latin-English one, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I’m waiting until it comes back in stock.

You can also use the Brevum Meum App if you have an iPhone and a copy of the rubrics until the English-Latin Breviary is back in stock.

Another option you have, which was suggested to me by another FSSP priest is the use the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin in Latin and English. Baronius Press is currently out of stock of that too, as it is being revamped to include the Gregorian Chant to recite it.

I have the 1962 Diurnal (i.e., all the hours of the Breviary except Matins - the monster hour). I love it! It’s a very affordable way to get into the Office. There’s a new website that has the ordo specifically for this Diurnal and for the Nova et Vetera Breviary.

Diurnal:
Regular sized-book

Pocket-sized book

Nova et Vetera Breviary (Full Office):

2 questions, if I may:
  1. Is the Ordo for the Farnsworth edition?
  2. Is it run by more than one person? I ask this because, may the good Lord forbid, if something happens to the 1 person running it, then we are stuck without an Ordo.

  1. If you’re talking about the Benedictine Monastic Diurnal by Farnborough Abbey, then no. This diurnal is for the 1962 Roman Breviary. Similar calendars but saints are celebrated a little differently and the Psalter is arranged differently. The Farnborough Abbey version is really only used in this country by the Benedictine monks of Clear Creek Monastery near Tulsa, OK. The Diurnale Romanum is used by the FSSP, Institute of Christ the King, and can even be used by any Latin Rite Catholic priest to fulfill his duty of praying the Office under the provisions of Summorum Pontificum (of course, they’d have to find Matins somewhere else to fulfill their obligation, but laity are under no obligation).
  2. It’s just starting out, so yes it is run by one person. However, people have been praying the diurnal for decades before this blog (which started up only a few days ago). You can buy an Ordo from the FSSP website or the SSPX website. Those ordos just aren’t specific for any particular publication of the Office.

Do they sell one thats in both English and Latin?
God bless,
 
Right now, your only English/Latin versions are:
  1. BrevMeum App on iPhone / iPad
  2. Angelus Press abbreviated Divine Office (Prime, Sext, Compline of weekdays and Saturday; Lauds/Prime/Sext/None/Vespers/Compline of Sundays; no commons for saints or seasons)
  3. Wait for Baronius Press to sell their second printing of the 1962 Roman breviary
  4. eBay
  5. If you want to try the 1963 Benedictine Monastic Diurnal (which I have and enjoy, too), then that is Latin/English. It has a Psalter that is arranged differently than the Roman Office, and saints’ feasts are a little different. Compline is slightly different in that there is no Nunc Dimittis. Otherwise, it is a great prayerbook.
