The Anglican Office Book is:

Patristic in structure;
Catholic in spirit;
Biblical in substance;
Pastoral in vocation;
Noble in beauty;
Majestic in language;
Enriched in simplicity;
Sustainable in practice.

@NiceColorsss Canterbury cap is fine outdoors. It is useless as a liturgical garment—too soft to doff. Biretta wins for practicality during Divine Service.

There have been some questions of late as to whether the AOB includes prayers for the King. Of course it does! Here are a few of them.

This past week I have found such solace and peace in praying the Daily Office. Having a space to pray and connect with a tradition of thousands of years has brought me the peace the passes all understanding. My resource of choice is The Anglican Office Book. @AnglicanOffice

@BVMConsolatrix The closest thing currently in print would be The Anglican Breviary, but it does have some slight variants from strict pre-1955 Roman Breviary.

At Mattins bound,
At Prime reviled,
Condemned to death at Terce,
Nailed to the cross at Sext,
At None his blessed side they pierce,
They take him Down at Evesong,
In Grave at Compline lay;
Who henceforth bids his Church observe These sevenfold hours always.

"The interior life is the foundation of the priestly life. Without it, the apostolate becomes sterile, ... and the interior life is nourished above all by the Divine Office, mental prayer, and the loving intercession of the Virgin Mother." Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard

@conny_trades But that’s not what Jesus says. He doesn’t say, ‘I was hungry and you believed in my finished work,’ He says, ‘I was hungry and you fed me.’ You’re adding Calvin to Christ.

@claycon The AOB includes 1662/1962 Canadian variants.

I am VERY PLEASED to announce that The Anglican Office Book now has an online edition. The complete Office is available, in both English and Latin, as well as with some musical notation. Many thanks to @shevans02 for his work on this project.

"If Jesus meant for us to just have the Bible, he would have invented the printing press for us."

[Bishop Chandler Holder Jones @bishopchandler]

Almighty God, give us priests:
to establish the honour of thy holy Name;
to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar;
to give us Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament;
to proclaim the faith of Jesus;
to baptise and to teach the young;
to tend thy sheep;
to seek the lost;
to give pardon to the penitent sinner
to bless our homes;
to pray for the afflicted;
to comfort mourners;
to strengthen us in our last hour;
to commend our souls;
Almighty God, give us priests!

@NiceColorsss The Anglo-Catholic should always be thinking firstly how to preserve a Western Catholic identity, and secondly how to express it in the English culture and heritage.

@Make_it_Raines And consider, further, that the Anglican Breviary represents a significant reform in the psalter schema from ancient practice. The old Roman Breviary, particularly in its Sarum form--and entirely chanted--would have been an immense undertaking. Eighteen psalms at ferial Matins!

[The Anglican Office Book @AnglicanOffice]

Eternal mercy willed the blow
That gave the wounds, O Heart, to thee;
That man should ever feel and know
The love that suffered on the Tree.
