Continuing the tradition of centuries, Daily Prayer includes the major elements of the Breviary or Divine Office for the Catholic Church, in an updated one volume edition.
Daily Prayer is taken directly from ‘The Divine Office’, and includes the major daily offices of ‘Morning Prayer’, ‘Evening Prayer’, ‘Prayer during the Day’, and ‘Night Prayer’, for every day of the church year. The only omission from the full ‘Divine Office’ is the Office of Readings.
It is ideal for clergy, religious and for lay people who need a form of daily devotion or for those preparing for the priesthood, and can be used for either individual or group use.
‘Daily Prayer’ also includes updated tables of Moveable Liturgical Days, as well as the General Calendar.
This handsome volume comes in a sturdy binding with six coloured ribbon markers.
From the prize-winning screenwriter of The Theory of Everything and Darkest Hour, The Two Popes is a fascinating, revealing and gripping tale of two very different men whose destinies converge with each other - they both live in the Vatican - and the wider world.
On 28 February 2013, a 600-year-old tradition was shattered: the conservative Pope Benedict XVI made a startling announcement. He would resign. Reeling from the news, the College of Cardinals rushed to Rome to congregate in the Sistine Chapel to pick his successor. Their unlikely choice? Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,200 years, a one time tango club bouncer, a passionate football fan and a man with the common touch.
How did these two men become two of the most powerful people on Earth?
What's it like to be the Pope?
What does the future hold for the Catholic Church and its 1 billion followers?
The Two Popes is a dual biography that masterfully combines these two popes' lives into one gripping narrative. From Benedict and Francis' experiences of war in their homelands - when they were still Joseph and Jorge - and the sexual abuse scandal that continues to rock the Church to its foundations, to the intrigue and the occasional comedy of life in the Vatican, The Pope glitters with the darker and the lighter details of life inside one of the world's most opaque but significant institutions.
