Hello,

I would love to pray the Liturgy of the Hours in Latin (at least until they provide a significantly improved English translation šŸ˜ƒ ), but I cannot possible afford the 4 volume set (youā€™re talking a couple hundred dollars :eek: ) and canā€™t find it available online. Does anyone know of a one volume Latin version, such as Christian Prayer, that just covers Morning and Evening and Night Prayer?
 
As far as I know, there is no equivalent of Christian Prayer in Latin.

Iā€™m saving up and buying one volume at a time, myself.

Good luck!
 
You can pray Night Prayer in Latin (with the exception of the prayer and the Psalm antiphon) using a booklet I created.
 
Lauds and Vespers per Annum Season

Iā€™ve not held this book in my hands, but I believe it is Morning and Evening Prayer for the whole year, including the Propers of Seasons, but no offices for celebrating the saints. Official Latin facing an independent (ie unapproved) English translation.

(I do have and use the previous version, which was Lauds and Vespers for Ordinary Time only)

I would wait for the Latin/English edition of the Traditional Breviary that is being published by Baronius Press sometime during 2007.
 
Two options I know of:

andrewespress.com/md.html
for $55 we have Benedictine or Western Roman Liturgy of the Hours in the best english translation I have ever heard. The people at this press will surely know where to find a latin version for less than $100ā€¦

or else I think a book called ā€œByzantine Daily Worshipā€ by Archb Joseph Raya has the Byzantine version of the Liturgy of the Hours in it. translated into very beautiful english. if you can be satisfied with a GOOD translation this may work.

It probably cost about $50 at a store

If the entire liturgy of the hours is not in that book it is surely in here:

I have been using Christian Prayer and this always puzzles me on Sundays. At the end it says ā€œPrayer as in Proper of Seasons.ā€ So I go to that Sunday and there are the appropriate antiphons for Evening Prayer I, Morning Prayer, and Evening Prayer II. The only prayers are under Morning Prayer, and there are 2 of them: prayer and alternative prayer. So what prayer are we to use to conclude the 2 Evening Prayers for Sunday?

Iā€™ve just used the two prayers for Sunday Morning Prayer. I usually use the alternative prayer for the evenings, and the first prayer for the morning.

Use either the prayer or alternate listed under Morning Prayer. This same prayer closes every hour of Sunday except Compline. Similarly, it closes the Office of Readings on ferial days of Ordinary Time (that is: the prayer for the Sunday of the week). If you are extra clever, you will also recognize one of these prayers used as the Opening Prayer at Sunday Mass and ferial Masses during the week during Ordinary Time.

BTW, the alternate prayers are an ICEL invention ā€“ The *Liturgia Horarum *does not have such.

Hello,

How about a Carmelite Liturgy of the Hours - Latin/English? I would assume there would be in this specific offices for the Carmelite Saints and perhaps a different Psalter ordering or different antiphons.

A tip of the hat :tiphat: to a comment in Fr Zā€™s o{]:Ā¬) blog ā€“ I have not thoroughly investigated, but if you donā€™t mind the French all around Iā€™ve just discovered this site: scholasaintmaur.net/index.php?option=com_liturgiahorarum

Youā€™ll have to allow for the time difference (but can navigate to the correct hour), and I do not know if it follows the universal calendar or the local France (but Iā€™d be quite surprised if it followed the US). In any case: Better than nothing for those of us without PalmPilots. :bounce:

Excellent tee!šŸ‘

I also thought Iā€™d share this one (browser version on the right) which I found when looking for hymn translations. It has a peculiar, though beautiful Office titled ā€œOur Lord Jesus Christ, High and Eternal Priestā€ that Iā€™m trying to trace the origin of, since Iā€™ve heard it is not in the Liturgia Horarum bookā€¦

Excellent back at you! šŸ‘

I think I like that even more. The one Iā€™d posted seems to use an alternate form for the *Preces */ Intercessions, nor does it include the Office of Readings / Officium lectionis.

I can confirm that it is the universal Roman calendar, not the French one.We welcome an English translation of this work, for example from the excellent book of Peter Stravinskas, Ed.

We could also make a ā€œtimeā€ specific version, and even an ordo specific calendar (with, for example, the propers of Europe or America, or even of the dioceses or some orders). It is just a matter of timeā€¦ Tell us if you are interested !
