I am an Anglican who has just purchased this breviary; I am very thankful for the helpful review and I appreciate your respect for the Anglican church. I have much respect for the Roman Catholic church and I hope that our churches continue to come together in brotherhood and understanding.
I attended a very high Anglican Mass recently and it was wonderful and much more traditional than many RC parishes. Of course we have the Ordinariate which is a blessing in the church.
Very interesting video, thank you. As a Convert to Catholicism from the Church of England (I’m an Englishman) I miss the beautiful Coverdale psalms and this would be a good way to pray as a Catholic with the beauty of those psalms. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated!
You might also be able to access the coverdale psalter by using Divine Worship: Daily Office Commonwealth Edition by Catholic Truth Society. Although I'm not 100% certain it's the coverdale psalter, it is the daily office book built for the Ordinariate and based on the prayer book tradition. It's an expensive book but it is just amazing.
Im English and c of e . But i want to be catholic any advice on how to go about changing to catholic for a adult I know you have to be confirmed as a child. I didn't know how adults go about it
@@Jame629 All you have to do is find out (on the internet?) your nearest Catholic parish church - everybody has one - and find its website which will probably tell you when the parish priest receives callers and go and have a chat to him and tell him your thoughts and he will be able to advise you on the best way to go about it. If he doesn’t help then you can always go to your diocesan cathedral/office and they will certainly help you. I approached my nearest parish priest 43 years ago, he instructed me in the Faith; received me into the Church and I’ve never looked back since. I wish you every success my dear fellow and may God bless you in your excellent endeavour.
@@albertsmyth9616 thanks so much for your reply . Ill certainly do this there are a few catholic churchs in our area ive just looked one is just along the road . So ill go about it as u say . Because thats been my biggest hold back knowing when to visit a church at a appropriate time. I wouldnt want to interupt anything. I'll check for websites and phone numbers to call first thanks
I must have missed this video a year ago! I have the Anglican Breviary and the Anglican Office Book second edition. In the past, I wanted to purchase Matins and the Monastic Diurnal for my Roman, Anglican, and Byzantine prayer book collection. However, I didn't know what exactly it contained. Your video helped me greatly to decide to buy the Monastic Diurnal. Thanks for all the excellent videos.
I ordered this because of the size which is ideal, also I dont use Or speak Latin. The price point was also noted as the ones I reaseearched are costly , even used ones . The traditonal format and layout was also considered. Im not overly familar with the Prayers of the Latin Church as I tend to use a Orthodox prayerbook. I like the traditional use of the Psalms that is employed in this with Scripture. There are many beautiful services of the Orthodox Church but they can be overwhelming except the daily prayers . thanks for the explanation .
@@chancha807 it uses the King James Version Bible whereas Farnborough uses the Duoay Rheims Challoner 1899 version (or the 1859 Duoay Rheims Haydock version?) - the biggest difference
Finally getting around to this video as I explore options for an eventual “next step” from the Baltimore office (which I’ve loved in that it introduced me to the general format and routine, but it leaves a little to be desired with variety). I must say, the size of this book is probably what makes it most appealing for me. Lugging around a massive breviary isn’t ideal. I also watched your reviews on the divine office: daily worship and the Benedictine daily prayer, both of which look good as well, having a lot more content than this one but also being a little bit clunkier and harder to navigate for someone newer to the divine office. I guess I’ll just ask if you’ve got a specific recommendation out of those three because I’m kind of stuck - all my online research returns a big list of pros and cons for each one. Or maybe I should just make the jump into single volume Christian Prayer. But I’d be curious to hear if you had any thoughts since you’re well versed in all these books. Sorry that I use you as my personal divine office research guide 😂 I just find a lot more straightforward and better presented information on this channel than anywhere else.
Great question! Feel free to ask any time! I would recommend Monastic Diurnal or Benedictine Daily Prayer. Monastic Diurnal is more portable (one of the things I look for) and more traditional. BDP is extremely similar but also has a lot more scripture. The only caveats are its size that it contains a few typos. (Translation isn’t awesome either) I would say affordability and accessibility the BDP wins for sure but if you want a wider community of users LAP I will always turn to the LAP over the BDP. Go for that one in my opinion
Could you do an short instructional video? Like walk us through either lauds who a whole days worth? I want to know how much flipping around is involved compared to other monastic diurnals
Good day, i have a question: What publishing house makes the best Monastic Diurnal? I see this one, as well as St. Michael Abbey. Thank you in advance.
Is this Catholic? Im confused as you mention Anglican. Also how can it have all daily offices in that thin book when the other LOTH is four thick volumes? Im not fault finding, I’m just not understanding if it is for the full year and it is so thin. Thanks.
It is a Catholic office that was translated by an Anglican priest. St. Benedict himself created the office. It is for the entire year. The reason why it is so thin is because it doesn’t contain the Midnight hour. St. Benedict designed it to be a brief office for those who worked throughout the day. LOTH is so long because there are not many abbreviations. The Monastic Diurnal asks you to refer back to many pages.
As far as I know, LOTH is a totally unrelated liturgy built after the conciliar era. This is a different office entirely used before LOTH existed and this one is based on St Benedict's prescription of psalm praying throughout the day put forth in his Rule.
Its a translation but the person who basically made it is pre-schism, so its Orthodox and Roman. Since the church was one in Dogma and Theology back then, it is safe to use from any background. I am Western Rite Orthodox.

The hope is we can be one Church once again! God bless you!
I attended a very high Anglican Mass recently and it was wonderful and much more traditional than many RC parishes. Of course we have the Ordinariate which is a blessing in the church.
There’s also Monastic Matins by Lancelot Andrewes Press - a larger black book
I pray it every Sundays during Traditional Latin Mass
I definitely want to get that and review it

I have plenty of personal ordinariate material lined up to be uploaded!

The Monastic Matins book is on the way over to me. I look forward to reviewing it too

The Monastic Diurnal is one of my favorites for sure.
Farnborough Press (St Michaels Abbey) also publishes their own version of The Monastic Diurnal
I will eventually buy the book and do a review of that too
@@ConvincedCatholicism they have a 7th edition and an 8th edition
You could compare both editions side by side in a video
Other than Latin , how does this version differ from the Farnborough Press version ?
@@chancha807 it uses the King James Version Bible whereas Farnborough uses the Duoay Rheims Challoner 1899 version (or the 1859 Duoay Rheims Haydock version?) - the biggest difference
They also make a Matins office with readings
Yup! I hope to get it

Great video! I would also be interested in a walkthrough step by step how to use tutorial. Hope you create on soon. God bless
It should be mentioned that Matins was spun off into its own book and that is on the LAP website.
True! I plan on reviewing it if I ever get a copy
@@ConvincedCatholicism did you ever review the Matins book? I didn’t see it on a quick search but might have missed it
I have not@@laporziuncula
Thank you for this review. Is the font larger in this version than in the Farnborogh Abbbey one? I am older and it makes a difference.
The difference is negligible. I would say this one is more distinct
@@ConvincedCatholicism great, thanks!
Good day, i have a question: What publishing house makes the best Monastic Diurnal? I see this one, as well as St. Michael Abbey. Thank you in advance.
Hi, please check out on of my latest videos where I compare the two. As far as the physical quality, St. Michael Abbey is better
Thanks!
would you either respond to this message or would you please compare this to the other monastic diurnal (rcc version that you have)
@@campingout3063 I have done a comparison of the two monastic diurnals and the Benedictine Daily Prayer. If you want, I could do a direct comparison.
The link to the app does not work, update please.
I tried to fix it. Not sure if it works
