For this purpose we established a special commission within the Consilium for the Implementation of the Constitution on the Liturgy. With the help of scholars and specialists in the liturgical, theological, spiritual, and pastoral disciplines, the Consilium worked with the greatest zeal and diligence over a period of seven years to produce the new book for the liturgy of the hours.]]> 2017-10-25 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526400 "Though only a part of the liturgical reform came under his seal, Pope John XXII was aware that the fundamental principles on which the liturgy rests required further study. tgomez4 https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526402 He entrusted this task to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, which in the meantime he had convoked. The result was that the Council treated the liturgy as a whole, and the hours in particular, with such thoroughness and skill, such spirituality and power, that there is scarcely a parallel to the Council's work in the entire history of the Church.]]> 2017-10-25 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526402 "The whole work of liturgical revision was undertaken again by Pius XII. For both private and public recitation of the office he permitted the use of the new translation tgomez4 https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526403 of the psalter prepared by the Pontifical Biblical Institute and in 1947 established a special commission with the responsibility of studying the question of the breviary. In 1955 all the bishops throughout the world were questioned about this matter. The fruits of this labor and concern were first seen in the decree on the simplification of the rubrics, published 23 March 1955, and in the regulations for the breviary issued by John XXII in the Codex rubricarum of 1960. ]]> 2017-10-25 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526403 "In 1911 St. Pius X promulgated a new breviary, prepared at his command. The ancient custom was restored of recit tgomez4 https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526405 150 psalms each week and the arrangement of the psalter was entirely revised to remove all repetitions and to harmonize the weekday psalter and the cycle of biblical reading with the offices of saints. In addition, the office of Sunday was raised in rank and dignity to take general precedence over feasts of saints.]]> 2017-10-25 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526405 The Council of Trent, unable, because of shortness of time, to complete the reform of the breviary, tgomez4 https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526407 left this matter to the Apostolic See.  The Roman Breviary, promulgated in 1568 by our predecessor St. Pius V, achieved above all what was so urgently needed, the introduction of uniformity in the canonical prayer of Latin Church, after this uniformity had lapsed. In subsequent centuries many revision were made by Sixtus V, Clement VIII, Urban VIII, Clement XI, and other popes.]]> 2017-10-25 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526407 "The book of the divine office, gradually enlarged by many additions in the course of time, became a suitable instrument for the sacred service for which it tgomez4 https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526408 was designed. Since over the generations a good many changes were introduced in the form of celebration, including the practice of individual recitation, it is not strange that the breviary, as it was sometimes called, underwent many transformations, sometimes affecting the principles of its arrangement."]]> 2017-10-25 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526408 "The liturgy of the hours gradually developed into the prayer of the local Church, a prayer offered at the regular intervals and tgomez4 https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526409 in appointed places under the presidency of a priest. It was seen as a kind of necessary complement by which the fullness of divine worship contained in the Eucharistic Sacrifice would overflow to reach all the hours of daily life."]]> 2017-10-25 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526409 "The hymn of praise that is sung through all the ages in the heavenly places and was brought by the High Priest, tgomez4 https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526410 ...Christ Jesus, into this land of exile has been continued by the Church with constant fidelity over many centuries, in a rich variety of forms." -Pope Paul VI Laudis Canticum, November 1, 1970]]> 2017-10-25 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200526410 https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200611391 2017-10-25 20:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tgomez4/xe9l19y1csow/wish/200611391
