The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Description

This seems to be a *Novus Ordo* version of the Little Office, as it is quite different from a [traditional one](https://www.worldcat.org/title/little-office-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary-in-latin-and-english/oclc/732054860).The Little Office of Our Lady also known as Hours of the Virgin is a liturgical devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, in imitation of, and usually in addition to, the Divine Office in the Roman Catholic Church. It is a cycle of psalms, hymns, scripture and other readings. The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary probably originated as a monastic devotion around the middle of the eighth century. Peter the Deacon reports that at the Benedictine Monastery of Monte Cassino there was, in addition to the Divine Office, another office “which it is customary to perform in honour of the Holy Mother of God, which Zachary the Pope commanded under strict precept to the Cassinese Monastery.”* * *Prayed by [T.O.P.
