Cover of first edition Divine Worship: Daily Office: North American Edition

The Divine Worship: Daily Office is the series of approved liturgical books of the Anglican Use Divine Offices for the personal ordinariates in the Catholic Church. Derived from multiple Anglican and Catholic sources, the Divine Worship: Daily Office replaces prior Anglican Use versions of the Liturgy of the Hours and the Anglican daily office. Alongside other Anglican Use books officially known as "Divine Worship", including the Divine Worship: The Missal , Divine Worship: Daily Office is considered a liturgical use of the Roman Rite. [1]

Contents

There are two editions, both published in English. The North American Edition is meant for use by Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter in the United States and Canada. The Commonwealth Edition is for use by the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham in the United Kingdom and Ireland as well as the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross in Australia, Japan, and Oceania.

History

The Customary of Our Lady of Walsingham, an interim Anglican Use breviary

Multiple attempts to create an Anglican Use form of the Divine Office had been attempted prior to the approval the Divine Worship: Daily Office. The Book of Divine Worship of 2003 closely followed the Mattins and Evensong practices of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church. Unlike later editions and in keeping with lineage from the Book of Common Prayer , the Book of Divine Worship contained both the order of the Anglican Use Mass and Office, resulting in an extremely large book.

The Customary of Our Lady of Walsingham, printed by Canterbury Press in 2012 and in use until the introduction of the Divine Worship: Daily Office: Commonwealth Edition, more closely follows Catholic practices. Additions included Terce, Sext, and None. [2] Unlike the previous Book of Divine Worship, the Customary exclusively contained the Office and thus proved far more wieldy, with Divine Worship: The Missal and its new order of the Anglican Use Mass being published separately. [3]

Editions

Unlike the other forms and uses of the Roman Rite that use the General Roman Calendar of 1960 and some Anglo-Catholic sources including the Anglican Breviary that use the General Roman Calendar of 1955, the Anglican Use liturgical calendar does not contain a period known as Ordinary Time. Instead, the traditional Anglican kalendar is used as the basis from which liturgical seasons are determined. [4]

North American Edition

The Divine Worship: Daily Office: North American Edition is printed by Newman House Press and was released in late 2020. [5] The first printing of 500 books quickly sold out to parish communities, with further printings being announced shortly after. [6]

Unlike the Liturgy of the Hours, the North American edition does not contain the full scripture readings for Morning and Evening Prayer. The intention is that the user will use a separate Bible for those readings.

The psalm translation is that of the 1928 Episcopal revision of the Coverdale Psalter. Permutations of the Coverdale Psalter are used in many Anglican Books of Common Prayer including the 1662 Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England and 1928 Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church. Collects and other excerpts come from Divine Worship: The Missal, which itself sources from the Anglican Missal and other Anglo-Catholic texts. [5]

Following the initial printing, several significant textual errata were noted, along with several dozen typographical errors. [7] Among them, the latter half of the hour of None was missing. [8] There were also complaints regarding specific omissions–such as prayers for popular English saints like Thomas Becket–as well as several popular hymns from the English Christian tradition. These concerns and other were anticipated to be in part addressed during the North American Edition's second printing. [7] [8] The second printing was released in May 2021 and featured several corrections, including adding the missing portion of None. However, this new edition also introduced the omission of other portions of None–specifically the readings for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday–as well as errors in collects and commons. [9] [10]

Commonwealth Edition

The Divine Worship: Daily Office: Commonwealth Edition is printed by the Catholic Truth Society. Announced in 2020 and following the high demand for the North American Edition, in December 2020 CTS attempted to determine interest for release in 2021. [6] [11] A 14 September release date and pre-orders were announced on 16 June 2021. [12] The Commonwealth Edition uses the 1662 revision of the Coverdale psalter in keeping with Church of England tradition. In contrast to the North American Edition, the Commonwealth Edition contains the full text of the scriptural lessons for Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer. [13] This feature is not common, but also not unheard of, in the Anglican Prayer Book tradition, and users are encouraged to read from a separate Bible via lectern during times of corporate prayer. [14] The initial run of the Commonwealth Edition was favorably received, necessitating additional printings. [15]

During the daily course of "lesser hours" of the Commonwealth Edition–Prime, Terce, Sext, and None – the entirety of Psalm 119 is recited. [16] A selection of occasional prayers and optional antiphons are also provided. In 2022, the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham released a series of videos teaching proper usage of the Commonwealth Edition, each filmed within Slipper Chapel. [17]

<i>Book of Common Prayer</i> Prayer book used in most Anglican churches

The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is the name given to a number of related prayer books used in the Anglican Communion and by other Christian churches historically related to Anglicanism. The first prayer book, published in 1549 in the reign of King Edward VI of England, was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome. The work of 1549 was the first prayer book to include the complete forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English. It contained Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, the Litany, and Holy Communion and also the occasional services in full: the orders for Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, "prayers to be said with the sick", and a funeral service. It also set out in full the "propers" : the introits, collects, and epistle and gospel readings for the Sunday service of Holy Communion. Old Testament and New Testament readings for daily prayer were specified in tabular format as were the Psalms and canticles, mostly biblical, that were provided to be said or sung between the readings.

The Liturgy of the Hours or Divine Office or Opus Dei are a set of Catholic prayers comprising the canonical hours, often also referred to as the breviary, of the Latin Church. The Liturgy of the Hours forms the official set of prayers "marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer." The term "Liturgy of the Hours" has been retroactively applied to the practices of saying the canonical hours in both the Christian East and West–particularly within the Latin liturgical rites–prior to the Second Vatican Council, and is the official term for the canonical hours promulgated for usage by the Latin Church in 1971. Before 1971, the official form for the Latin Church was the Breviarium Romanum, first published in 1568 with major editions through 1962.

The Pastoral Provision is a set of practices and norms in the Catholic Church in the United States, by which bishops are authorized to provide spiritual care for Catholics converting from the Anglican tradition, by establishing parishes for them and ordaining priests from among them.

Most parishioners of these churches would be described as being traditional Prayer Book Anglicans in their theology and liturgical practice. Some Anglo-Catholic parishes use the Anglican Missal in their liturgies. The TAC is governed by a college of bishops from across the church and headed by an elected primate.
