There are so many important points to be made about this book, but, unfortunately, you hit hardly any of them. For instance, how does this translation compare to other Catholic translations, such as the Rheims-Challoner New Testament, or the New Testament of the New American Bible? Does this publisher's edition contain ALL the footnotes and cross-references contained in other published versions of the Confraternity NT? It seems the editions from Benziger or from Catholic Book Publishing have way more footnotes and cross-references than what you allowed us to peek at in 1 Cor. 3. Your focus on the size of the volume and the "self-guided reading plan" should've been of secondary importance relative to the translation itself, particularly its accuracy and readability. There is so much misinformation on the internet and even in print material about the various English-language biblical translations, and while you may not have deliberately added to it, you also didn't shed any new light on matters, either.

Great Review - Thx for showing the pictures. Definitely worth getting.

Every Missal has the order of the Mass!

Personally, i'm too OCD for this. If i miss a day or two it would screw me up.

I think I missed in the video how the daily readings are laid out. Are they grouped in chunks by year/cycle or are they all three cycles of readings for each day?

I was just gifted with the December 2024 Magnificat Prayer and Mass Book, by my sister. A subscription.She lives in Las Vegas, I live in NYC. This book is just one way for us sisters to connect with each other. This is the best gift one could ever receive during this times of uncertainty , chaos, and adversity in our country. The readings, will strengthen our faith and we become even more closer to God and to the Blessed Virgin Mary .

I'm having a hard time choosing... We are joining the church Easter 2025. I have 3 kids and I'm looking for a missal for my 7 year old, 10 year old and then for my husband and myself. At mass do you two share the same missal or carry your own separate ones? For my 10 year old I'm looking at the new St Joseph one. For my 7 year old, the living with Christ young Catholic missal 2024-2025. And for my husband the st Paul one in this video. I always overthink things and then after I get whatever I change my mind again..... I just want a good fit for everyone's ages.

I own the Sixth Edition of this prayer book (which pre-dates the 2011 changes to the Roman Missal) and this book has THE absolute best Examination of Conscience that I know of. It is meticulously thorough and "covers all the bases." It's worth owning this book for that alone and you will be fully prepared to receive the Sacrament of Penance if you use it beforehand. Great review and channel, brother.

The 1950s cover is absolutely beautiful. I ordered the modern inferior cover before even watching your video. lol I hope it arrives before needing to start the devotional.

Would you recommend this or the Manual of Prayers by MTF or the Handbook of Prayers? Is the binding really terrible on this?

Is this same book that’s kept on the holy table at church?

On the fasting note, St Martin’s Lent has begun. It’s the Advent Fast of Western Christendom.

The December 2024 Ember Days are after St. Lucy's Day, which is December 13 so the Ember Days are Ember Wednesday December 14, Ember Friday December 16, and Ember Saturday December 17.

Thanks for reviewing this book! What I like about TAN is that their books and reprints are suitable for those who attend The Traditional Latin Mass and / or the Mass of Pope Saint Paul VI. Spiritual Steps to Christmas could be an early Christmas gift for my Roman Catholic wife. But, please don't tell her about my plan. Its a surprise! 😉

Thanks for this. I will be purchasing it and hope to use it for many years to come.

This is an excellent psalter. The corrections of the troubled Coverdale translation to the Septuagint and more poetic English is well done.

Its not written in Christian perspective??? Lol 😂 Marys assumption to heaven is history

St. Maximus The Confessor and St. John Cassian are two of my very favorite saints to read. Thank you for this book review! Its much appreciated.

Hi, what time do you pray Matins? This is a lovely office book for Catholics new to the Eastern lung of rhe church.

A rare harsh review! "No link for you!" I winced seeing the damage done by the bubble wrap coupled with a long wait and steep price. I join the legion of those who have struggled to do the breviaries "right." I do get frustrated when it's just an opening and closing prayer with a bunch of Psalms sandwiched between. The Psalms are good, but there's more in Scripture than the Psalms. That's why I love the variety of DW:DO, even if its lesser hours are so unchanging. I supplement and skip, dip into the LOTH. There's a freedom that comes with doing this for a while. The books are a vehicle to prayer, not ends in themselves.

Thank you for this video. A Catholic friend gifted me a copy of the Ordinariate prayer book as part of the journey I’ve been on from Baptist to Anglican to Catholic and that similar size of bible (and blue cover that matches my blue cover version will be awesome) and I hadn’t found that website to use to occasionally supplement with while traveling. Thank you much.

@13:11 I love that, because this Breviary predates the calendrical changes of Pius XII, it still includes the Vigil of All Saints, otherwise known as Hallowe'en. Removing this, along with a slew df other vigils and octaves, has clearly proven to be a mistake. Being an Anglican book, though, I'm surprised the feast wasn't named All Hallows.

Would you say this book is still worth it for people who don’t attend a personal ordinariate parish? Are there any major portions that might be rendered “useless” because of that?

Question about the Church Slavonic (this is a bit of nuanced/niche subject, so I don't expect you to know all the details): you called it Old Church Slavonic and mentioned Lenin's reforms. However, Lenin's reforms were to the Cyrillic alphabet, not the liturgical language. Old Church Slavonic and Church Slavonic are earlier and later forms of the liturgical language, with the development into Church Slavonic occurring as far back as the 11th century. I understand the book is written using the older Cyrillic script, but is the language really "Old" Church Slavonic?

Whilst living in Jerusalem, Our Lady, Saint Mary, appeared to Saint James the Greater in Spain. It was the first Marian apparition in history. Since Our Blessed Mother was alive, it was an act of bilocation.

As a child of Vatican 2 (b. 1964), I find the modernistic artwork to be comforting and complementary to the Church’s newer outreach.

Maybe copy the lectionary from the PB and put the copy with the bible.

This Missal was one of John XXIII first step toward the Novus Ordo Missae

Maybe it’s a generational thing but I am seriously repelled by the thought of using an office book that’s on an electronic device rather than a physical book. I’m in my 60’s and of the 10 (RC) priests in my traditional leaning Community at least half use an electronic device for their daily Office and it appalls me.

Perhaps, if a 3rd edition is published by popular demand, the readings will be added. A good design and print font could produce a North American Daily Worship Daily Office with readings that is only slightly larger than the CTS Dive Worship: Daily office. This Daily Office is definitely a "diamond in the rough."

Of course if wants the less expensive route, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham also publishes Morning and Evening Prayer with the Coverdale Psalter. Simple as.

I reached out to the North American printer a few weeks ago. They advised me to just get the commonwealth edition. Very disappointing.

Is this book Catholic or Anglican Ordinariate ? Thanks

Thank you for your reviews! I have a lot of devotionals on my wish list now courtesy of your channel. I appreciate the comfort and peace you have been expressing on your channel!

The traditional English version is coming out soon.

Thanks for this always engaging and informative compare-and-contrast video! I have the St Michael's Diurnal but wondered about the "other one" from Lancelot Andrewes and weighed getting that as well (as if I need another prayer book!). Your video gave me such a good peek inside that I am safely assured I can skip it. Its mangling of the Salve Regina was the final dealbreaker. One thing I like about the St. Michael's is how it fits so snugly in the hand with a satisfying heft. I always hold it, whereas the Divine Worship: Daily Office I lay flat on the table when using that book. Always good videos--thanks!

God bless Charles, King and Martyr.

As a Western Rite catechumen, I appreciate this review a lot😊 May God bless you and keep you🙏

We are trying to learn. Thank you for your videos. Please up us to learn how to use this breviary.

thank you for the review! i bought this copy when it first came out with the whole pre order form. unfortunately i haven’t been able to use it because i still don’t know how to use it 😂 but thank you for the explanation!

Thank you for your video! I just purchased this bible, and your video helped me make my decision. The print is surprisingly easy to read considering the small font, and the paper doesn't feel overly fragile. I'm planning on having this as my travel bible once I have it rebound.

This is great and always been. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I recently purchased this prayer book. It is a useful book, and it is a handsome book. Unfortunately the binding is so unmercifully stiff that it makes using the book a bit of a misery. Perhaps with some breaking in, or deliberately breaking the binding it will be easier to use.

Just discovered your channel and it’s exactly up my alley! All the different breviary/missal explanations have been super helpful and I now definitely wish the Ordinariate here made this available.

Buyer beware! Benedictine Daily Prayer is edited by a Lutheran minister and uses inclusive language. Brought to you by the Liturgical Press who published such dubious and heretical books as Heart Talks With Mother God and Woman at the Altar - both of which had to be withdrawn because they were not in line with Catholic teaching. One of the best breviaries was the 1962 edition of A Short Breviary - it’s a gem, easy to use and not a lot of flipping ribbons.

What’s honestly off-putting about the Ordinariate mass is the banal Novus Ordo insertion of “earth has given and human hands have made” in the eucharistic prayer (offertory). The liturgy in Anglo-Catholic parishes is just fine. Why did the Roman hierarchy feel like it had to muck things up? It’s like the grotesque effect of inserting non-traditional language into a traditional wedding ceremony. You end up with a mongrel. Also, as the Ordinariate progresses, in future it’s unlikely there will be married priests. Very un-Anglican.

Love DWDO NAE!

Thanks for the video. I look forward to Part II. I really like the CTS Divine Worship Daily Office used in the UK. I never purchased a copy because I like using the Anglican Breviary and the Anglican Office Book 2nd Edition in tandem. I also have a modern reprint of the 1928 BCP with KJV and Apocrypha bound in genuine leather. Since I prefer the 1928 BCP to the 1662 BCP, if they release a 3rd Edition DWDO North American edition, I'd buy it. From what I saw of the contents, this Breviary looks good, except I wouldn't like the way the book is bound. Excellent review.

I’m with you in hoping for a reissue. I’d love to get a copy, but they are hens teeth. Good on you to get this copy.
