Benedictus Deus

Benedictum Nomen Sanctum eius

Confraternity of St. Benedict

Filed under: Liturgy, Prayer — February 23, 2010 @ 10:38 am

My good friend John R. has taken the initiative to establish a Divine Office association called the Confraternity of Saint Benedict.  In a nut shell this is an association for both lay and clerical members with the aim of fostering use of the traditional Office both at home in and in public services (especially Vespers and Compline).  This is an endeavor very much in the spirit of Dom Gueranger who sought to get the laity involved in the full liturgy of the Church, not Holy Mass alone.

If you are interested in praying the Breviary I highly recommend that you check out the charter of the Confraternity and see if perhaps a chapter can be established in your area.  Even if not, there will be a lot of helpful information available at that site on rubrics for the offices and other related topics.
