Morning Prayer (Matins) and Evening Prayer (Evensong or Vespers) have been a staple of the prayer life of English Cathedrals and country parish churches for over 450 years. Presented here in the traditional language of the 1662 and 1928 editions of The Book of Common Prayer together with the 1928 edition of the Coverdale Psalter, this book provides a resource for Catholics to bring this gem of Anglican Patrimony into the Church as envisioned by Pope Benedict in his Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Ctibus.
The Concise Edition is intended to be used together with other resources such as the proper Collect of the Day from Divine Worship: The Missal and readings from The Holy Bible: Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition according to a lectionary for daily prayer.
The updated 2017 Edition incorporates Marian Anthems and several updated prayers.
