The best prayer is the prayer of the Church. This book offers it–simpler than the Roman Breviary, but essentially the same.  Pray the inspired psalms of the Holy Ghost. Many Religious Orders used the Little Office as their daily prayer, and countless saints recited the Little Office, including Saints John Damascene, Catherine of Siena, Vincent Ferrer, King Louis of France and Bridget of Sweden. 

The text of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Office of the Dead is that of the 1915 Benziger Brothers edition with updated punctuation and slight rewording of some familiar passages in English. The content of the Offices was revised in conformity with the norms of the typical edition of the Roman Breviary published in 1961.  Completely re-typset with the Latin and English text on facing pages. This beautiful edition is offered to the faithful in a very readable and affordable format.  Printed in red and black text.  Gold foil stamped, black,flexible softcover with rounded corners.
