Description
The primary work of the monastic is prayer, and it has been the monastic tradition to intersperse the continual dialogue with God with periods of formal prayer. That formal prayer in the form of the Offices, seeks to direct the mind of the monastic upon the feasts and movements through the Church year.
This Breviary is in part based upon - inspired by - the Clewer book which was derived from the Sarum, and published in English in 1851.
The overriding principle in the layout, arrangement and form of the Offices in this Breviary, has been to achieve a much simplified Breviary, easily usable by monastics who may have to work outside the monastery or who have come late to monasticism. Additionally, provisions have been made for those who may be working in the secular world, requiring a simple midday Office.
It is intended to be clearly understood, easy to chant, and is arranged in such a way that the user can, as far as possible, simply follow through any given Office with the least number of extra places to find.
