I can only manage Lauds and Compline. I used to find Lauds difficult, due to time constraints but now I pray it before Mass on weekdays. I really want to buy the 3 volume set but just seems like so much money for them - which I don't have.

I am trying to purchase the 4 volume set of the Divine Office in Spanish for a friend who has permanent residence in Mexico. Is one Spanish edition better than another? Do you know where they can be purchased? I didn't see the Spanish version available from Amazon.com.<br /><br />BillMbillmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245617126343053725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-66699271725561798352008-03-11T00:47:00.000+00:002008-03-11T00:47:00.000+00:00Hi Ali.

I pray the Latin American version and the 2-year cycle of the Office of Readings is offered, unlike the Collins and ICEL English versions, and even the Latin version. Is this what you meant by having more options from the Office in Spanish?

I make do with the one volume "Christian Prayer" which I was given for free.<BR/><BR/>I also love the fact that I'm praying along with the whole Church. Just as the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is always being celebrated somewhere in the world, so too, the divine office is being prayed somewhere. I also love praying for the Church, for people I've never met, knowing that God will hear our intercessions and grant grace to those most in need.<BR/><BR/>As for the quality of the breviary from amazon, seeing through the pages would really really annoy me.DPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195133313571297243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-53004165809105875682007-06-09T06:45:00.000+01:002007-06-09T06:45:00.000+01:00Mac,A subject close to my heart!
