1. Little Office of The Blessed Virgin Mary - Introduction 

Thanks for the feedback! It always brings me joy to know that my videos are helping people! God Bless!

As I was looking on eBay for a copy of the little office of the Blessed Virgin Mary book there is one selling both the little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and shorter Christian prayers together for 20 bucks that was a perfect combination one for daily praying and reading and the other for holy days of obligation

Where can I get the same version you have on a UK website please

You are so right. Three bricks!!

Have you looked Into the Divine Office (Common Wealth edition) from the Personal Ordinariates? It’s a 1 book version of the Anglican Divine Office. It is approved by the Catholic Church. I really like it because you don’t have 3 volumes, it has the major hours and lesser hours and the entire proper of saints. Plus the Anglican tradition has longer scripture readings with their major hours.

thanks for this comment, just bought a scapular and I'm trying to find which prayers are said to wear it daily. Many things seem to have changed post Vatican 2 . I didn't know this one changed too

Spartan Elf yes even the Little Divine Office was significantly changed because of Vatican 2 (along with the Divine Office aka Breviary and even the English translation of the Catholic Bible itself )

@@duromusabc oh boy now I'll have to get hold of a pre vatican 2 Bible? At this rate I won't be surprised to find out that Our Lord's Name was Emanuel originally lol! anyway it's good to learn about these things

Spartan Elf yes- you have to get the pre Vatican 2 Catholic bible called the Duoay Rheims Bible online from either Amazon or Baronius Press

Is there any grave difference between the two?

That's more of a personal choice. Any attitude of respect/reverence should be shown.. that's it!

I know there are several variants, but I have not had the opportunity to find/catalog them all!

We Lay Carmelites (TOCarm) are more advised to pray the Divine Office but praying the Little Office is still allowed

It omits three: "Three psalms (58, 83, and 109) have been omitted from the psalter cycle because of their curses; in the same way, some verses have been omitted from certain psalms, as noted at the head of each. The reason for the omission is a certain psychological difficulty, even though the psalms of imprecation are in fact used as prayer in the New Testament, for example, Rv 6:10, and in no sense to encourage the use of curses."

@@cmcnicholas very informative thank you

@@servicemotorsdevon9265 I just noticed you posted this under the Little Office.. my reply was in reference to the full 4 volume set of the Liturgy of The Hours. I am not sure what is omitted from the Little Office

@@cmcnicholas no worries 😊

​@@cmcnicholasthat's why I wouldn't bother with the post 62 Liturgy of the hours. Instead, I would use the traditional Breviary. It doesn't so much matter with the Little Office as that devotion is specifically with Our Lady. And I have noticed that, likenthe Breviary, it includes in most versions all the hours unlike the modern Liturgy. I believe the Monastic Diurnal is worthy too, and also easier for lay people to keep up with the routine better than the official hours.

We cannot ignore a papal approved council of any sort. If you prefer some of the pre-VII devotions than go for it; but that does not dismiss the beauty of the reformed prayers. The bishops were led by the Holy Ghost to make these reforms. Is all of it perfect? No. But it never is. It is a work in progress, but it has great value. The brown scapular, the five first Saturdays, and the majority of devotions have not been changed in the slightest and are still done today. There are of course bad actors who try and rupture the Church under the guise of reform, but such people ignore the actual rubrics and have not and will not succeed. But accusing the Church of having a bad council when it was approved by the magisterium is accusing Christ's promise of protecting His Church from being conquered as a falsehood.

Where's your practice of charity? I'd say that's a much greater priority for a Christian than scholarship or encyclopaedic knowledge.

Doesn't seem like you paid attention during those nine minutes, considering that the video was not about the Book of Psalms. Where's your appreciation for a good Catholic trying to help people pray more?
