Hail Mary: A Marian Book of Hours Book

The time-honored tradition of devotion to Mary through the days and seasons of the year comes to new life in this lively and contemporary daily prayerbook. Ancient and modern hymns, prayers, and readings have been lovingly selected to inspire both the individuals and groups who want to pray with the Blessed Mother each day. Morning and Evening Prayer for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter-as well as for the ordinary days of the year-are provided. The nine most important feasts of Mary are included, and in keeping with the revered tradition of the Night Office (now called the Office of Readings), a fitting selection of psalms and a treasury of thirty-six inspiring readings are offered. Renowned prayerbook author William G. Storey has drawn on the traditional Little Office of the Blessed Virgin to create a new Marian office that is brief, easy-to-use, rich in traditional elements, and closely aligned with the church's year. [Title] is a prayerbook focussed entirely on Jesus and Mary as they live through the mysteries of the incarnation, passion, death, and resurrection and their striking reflections in the dormition, assumption, and coronation of "the great Mother of God, Mary most holy." It is a wonderful way to pray the Liturgy of the Hours in union with Mary and the whole church.Read More
