A beautiful thing about Ireland, being of Celtic ethnic background is that much of their monasticism was deeply rooted in the practices and theology of the Eastern desert Fathers. This includes the types and ways that Monastics would build their cells, as well as even the liturgical structures and prayers. You go far enough West you end up in the East
I noticed at the Midday Office of St. Hilda a Byzantine Trisagion. At the closing of the Midday Office, also for St. Hilda, there is the Byzantine doxology of "Through the prayers of our holy fathers and mothers (surprised the author added mothers as it is not in the Greek), Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us." These types of ritual accretions often drive the purists into spittle-flecked nutties. One of the faults of Vatican II and the continued liturgical developments in the West is that they want to add Eastern stuff. There is no need. The West has its own venerable tradition pre-Vatican II. A small criticism. I ordered two of the cloth over board edition. Still waiting for them to fly over the "pond". One for me and one for my son. We are going to pray the offices in it and wanted to support Fr. Michael's work.
Hi Dale, here's an ecumenical recommendation: You should review "Oremus: A Lutheran Breviary," (Text Only Version, 2nd Edition) compiled by Rev. David Kind. It's a masterpiece (taking 22 years to complete), containing the seven daily offices, with extensive rubrics, antiphons, psalm selections, and church father readings for each day of the year. He is also the author of the book, "About Our Liturgy: Meaning, History and Practice;" and has a TH-cam channel with short introductory videos explaining the liturgy called, "University Lutheran Chapel" (@ULCMN).
I have considered buying the Stowe Missal for several years, but I've talked myself out so far. Then, your excellent video has made me consider buying it and that little Liturgy of Saint John book you recommended. I too find I use the Anglican Office Book anytime I just want to read the Psalms or the other scriptures. These days I spend time with it and the CCC aka The Catechism of the Catholic Church. I stopped reading classic Lutheran writers for a while, except for Johann Gerhard. Lastly, another commentator asked you to review Oremus. I have considered purchasing Oremus. However, I need a better look at the book before I make a decision. So, if you decided to review Oremus, I too will watch the video.

Dang it Dale…this was an expensive video for me to watch! My wife is going to kill me!
Oh well. I watched a $109 video last night: th-cam.com/video/TTyEX6lqJdQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GnJ2hzEtxGRmc_-b

@kingpatriarch224 Good old Thomas Cranmer even added some eastern stuff.

@Steadfast-Lutheran You're right. Once upon a time I had all of Philip Phlatteicher's books.
@@dalecaldwell Impressive! I have his book, "Manual on the Liturgy."

I forgot to mention that I have the Saint Colman Breviary on Kindle. So, at least I don't have to buy a copy. 🙂
Philip, isn't it shirk for a Muslim to read devotional Christian books?
