Learning the New Breviary - 1962 Brevarium Romanum

This is the guide published in 1962 for priests praying the Divine Office, according to the liturgical books of Blessed John XXIII.

The title word “new” is rather misleading today, as it actually refers to the new code of rubrics promulgated in July 1960 for the traditional Roman Breviary.

In this handy, concise and easy-to-read book, Fr. Hausmann leads the reader step by step through each of the 8 canonical hours, their contents, special particulars, and how they are said, all the while providing important tips on how to recite the Divine Office with a correct liturgical spirit.

An indispensable book for any Catholic who would like to become better acquainted with the traditional Roman Breviary, the Church’s liturgical treasure that in connection with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass forms the Church’s official daily prayer.

A great gift for seminarians, perfect also for any cleric or layman who might want to brush up on their breviary rubrics!
