Breviary - Breviarium Romanum Latin-English Breviary [side-by-side] Flexible cover (Black Leather), 3-Volume Set, Size: 4.5" x 7", Item No: 5500
Many of you have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Roman Breviary which has been plagued with delays and we are very grateful for all the emails and prayers of support that we have received.We received good news from the Censor a few days ago - the Breviary has now been checked thoroughly.
The task of checking every word on three and half thousand pages is no small one especially as this work was performed very diligently. The Censor has requested that to be absolutely sure that the text is error free, it should undergo one final proofreading, which we are assured will be much quicker than the first checking process. We ask your continued prayers for this process, which is a requirement for liturgical books and also ensures that the text is accurate. When the Censor has satisfied himself that the text conforms to the Editio Typica, he will recommend that the Concordat cum originali be granted, and the Breviary will be ready to be sent to the printer. We understand that for many of you it has been a long and frustrating wait since we first announced that we would be undertaking this project several years ago. At the time, we never anticipated how much work was needed to bring this important text back into print. Now, with light at the end of the tunnel, we are confidently able to say that the wait is nearly over. Please pray for the Censor, and check back in a few weeks, when we expect to be making a further announcement. •It is based on the popular three-volume Collegeville Breviary in Latin & English, originally published in 1963.
•Follows the text and rubrics promulgated by Blessed Pope John XXIII – the form of the traditional Breviary approved in Pope Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum.
