A shorter version of the Morning and Evening Prayer, in a handy format, suitable for anyone wanting to pray regularly on their own or in a group setting.

Shorter Morning and Evening Prayer is part of the Divine Office range, and is an edited version of Morning and Evening Prayer.

It is designed specifically for people who want to pray alone and are seeking a regular, structured cycle of prayer. Being just the bare bones of the Divine Office, it will not be as daunting for the novice reader to get to grips with. As the user's prayer life matures, they then have the foundation to allow them to move on to the fuller Divine Office.

It includes the same four-week cycle of the fuller Office with Psalms, Scripture Readings and Intercessions.

Also contains Night Prayer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2019

Verified Purchase

A great little book that includes the basics for Morning Prayer (Lauds), Evening Prayer (Vespers) and Night Prayer (Compline). The last was a nice surprise, since Night Prayer is not mentioned in the title or the description. The paper is thin but good quality, and the book fits easily into my handbag. The psalms have the Gelineau-style pointing; I use Weber chants, but even so I find the Gelineau pointing more helpful than none at all. The hymns are text-only.

good for busy people

Good points:

* It's small enough to slip into the jacket pocket. If you are short on time it's always there so that you can say the morning and evening Office at a lunch break, in a taxi, on the Tube, etc.
* It contains all the elements to keep you in touch with the basic form of Office - a four week cycle of Psalter readings, scripture and prayers with simple easily understood seasonal variations and night prayer.

Bad points:
* It only has two ribbons and needs three of four. However if you need to use the book efficiently you have to make up bookmarks with passages on them (Benedictus, Magnificat, etc.). In my copy these render the ribbons redundant.
* The detail takes a while to master, but its the Office and its worth the time spent doing this.

I have read the complaints about the plastic cover and cheap production. The 'leather' covered version is presumably now out of print and may or may not come back into print. If it does I will probably buy it. Meanwhile however I don't mind the plastic. A book that sits in your pocket for large periods of time and is read on the move is going to come in for a fair bit of wear and tare. The plastic covered edition is nothing if not sturdy and this is about saying the Office, not quality of book production.

Handy pocket-sized Divine Office (but not leather bound)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2013

Verified Purchase

(As per other reviewers, the product I got is NOT leather bound, despite the description; fortunately my plastic cover doesn't smell though, unlike another reviewer's)

This is a pocket-sized version of The Divine Office, and it includes Morning and Evening Prayer, and also Night Prayer too. It does contain the complete four-week Psalter.

However, being only 1cm thick and less than 500 pages long, they have obviously had to leave other stuff out. This isn't a criticism, and in general makes it ideal for travel / beginners. Before I bought it I would have liked to have known in more detail just what is in / out / different so in case anybody else wants to know:

* As mentioned by another reviewer, the text is all black: rather than having the rubrics in red, they are in italic instead, which does make it a little harder to follow (esp if you're an absolute beginner)

* The Proper of Seasons is a reduced version which contains "sufficient material ... to allow for seasonal variation" - such as "a week of proper material for each of the Seasons". Here are some examples of what this looks like in practice:

In the full Office, on Mondays of the Easter Season, depending on which week of the Easter season it is, a different set of texts are given for the Benedictus and Magnificat Antiphons, Intercessions and Concluding Prayers, whereas in this shorter version, only a single set of texts is given for ALL Mondays of the Easter Season (the same as for Mondays of Easter Week 2 in the full version). This does make it simpler to follow.

On The Ascension of the Lord, only Benedictus/Magnificat Antiphons and a Concluding Prayer are given in this version, unlike in the full Office, where the rest of the contents of Morning/Evening Prayer (I and II) are special for the Ascension too (Hymns, Psalms and Antiphons, Scripture, Responsory, Intercessions), and a special Invitatory Antiphon is also given.

* The Sundays in Ordinary Time are included as normal as far as I can tell

* The Proper of Saints is drastically reduced to just the Feasts of the Lord and a handful of Solemnities etc (e.g. only the major saints Our Lady, St Joseph, Saints Peter and Paul etc)

* It does contain The Office for the Dead and the Saturday Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary

* Beyond the hymns in the Psalter there are no extra Hymns for the seasons etc

Sticky label on the back difficult to remove

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2019

Verified Purchase

The book arrived as expected, though it took a day longer, via Prime, than the order information had led me to believe, and it was a good price, less than I would have paid in the bookshop. But the sticky white price and barcode label on the back won't peel off and I am about to see if wd40 will shift it.
