Pope Pius X noted the supreme value of the psalms in his encyclical Divino Afflatu, and his revision of the Office’s Psalter in the early twentieth century was designed to restore the ancient tradition of reciting the entire book of psalms over the course of a week.1 Quoting St Athanasius, he bears testimony to the power of the psalms in our spiritual life: The psalms have the power to fire our souls with zeal for all the virtues. It takes its name from the Venerable Cardinal Caesar Baronius, a Neapolitan ecclesiastical historian from the late 1500's. 1962 Breviarium Romanum (Latin edition of Roman Breviary) 1961 Latin-English Roman Breviary (Baronius Press) Liber Brevior (1954 edition) Liber Usualis (1961-62 edition) Rituale Romanum; Roman Ritual (3 volume set) The Layman's Missal; The Roman Missal 1962 (Baronius Press; Summorum Pontificum edition) A new hymnary for the Breviary was begun in the 1530s under the patronage of Pope Leo X. Bishop Ferreri of Guarda Alfieri in Naples, worked to produce a hymnary which reflected these aspirations. The project was never concluded, but raised the possibility of the traditional hymns being altered. That said, the 1961 Breviarium Romanum is the edition of the older Breviary authorized for current use by secular clergy, which surely explains the editor’s enthusiasm for it. But we didn’t begin our marriage praying this breviary. Indeed, this reviewer would say that aspects of them were radical, and that to apply the adjective “traditional” to elements of the Pius X Breviary is not possible. In 1963, The Liturgical Press (Collegeville, Minnesota) published in three volumes The Hours of the Divine Office in English and Latin. Each Hour was to have three psalms, which were to be unrepeated elsewhere. Armand de Malleray: Clergy Pilgrimage to Catho... Book Notice: Singing the Mass, by the Monks of Sol...

Although Pius X’s changes were the most sweeping reforms to the traditional Breviary in the twentieth century – one may even be tempted to say in its history – the Office was not set in aspic after his revisions. Certainly the Liturgia Horarum promulgated after the Second Vatican Council is in little demonstrable continuity with the Breviarium Romanum of 1961. St. Jerome's traditional Gallican Psalter from the Vulgate is used throughout. They are very similar! ". Scriptural texts in English follow the Confraternity translation (a 1940s revision of Challoner's Douai-Rheims Bible), which have been revised where necessary to conform to the Vulgate text. This high-quality breviary features throughout red and black text printed on natural-colored bible paper, bound in smooth grained flexible imitation black leather. English versions of hymns in the acclaimed translation of the Rev. Not the Roman Breviary, but I have alternated between the LOTH, and two post-Vatican II monastic versions of the LOTH. There were conservative responses to this issue, which could easily be regarded as part of an organic development of the Church’s liturgical practice. This was reinserted, albeit as a concluding blessing, in the 1974 Office despite being absent in the Interim versions. I have a feeling it will retain its value if not increase over the years.

Its logo is a biretta, which together with a cassock forms the traditional image of a Catholic priest. Evelyn Waugh, in his 1962 article “The Same Again, Please,” described himself as “typical of that middle rank of the Church, far from her leaders, much farther from her saints” and admitted that at Mass he was given to “glance rather often at the vernacular translations of the Latin.” There are very few today who, in opting for the older version of the Divine Office, do not experience the same need, at least occasionally. He echoes the hope of the Liturgical Movement out of which grew the Church’s desire, as expressed in the Vatican II Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, that the Divine Office once again become the prayer of the Church, when he writes: “It is our task, and a richly rewarding one, to restore the Psalter to its place of honour in Christian prayer. Of course, the laity have the right to excercise any form of prayer in their private devotions, and can therefore use any form of the Office they wish, including pre-concilar forms of the Breviary.

While regrets were expressed over the discontinuation of certain immemorial traditions, such as the loss of the daily recitation of the Lauds Psalms – which certainly dated back to the fourth century as part of the Christian liturgy, and may have been continuously prayed by Christians from the early first century when Our Lord recited them as part of the daily Jewish services – no one opposed the new Breviary’s introduction, recognising that it had behind it the full force of the Petrine Office.
