What does this book include?  A first ever translation of the Latin rubrics of the 1963 Mo‌nastic Breviary as translated by the editors of A Companion to the Monastic Breviary, and a unique Commentary on the Monastic Hours.     Part 1: Liturgical Documents including: General Rubrics, General Rubrics of the Breviary, The Year and its Parts, and Revised Table of Movable Feasts.     Part 2: Commentary and Explanation: Of the rubrics, Of the spiritual meaning of each hour, and Of the historical development of each hour.     ENDORSEMENTS: This is a beautiful book—not the sort that you would normally read cover-to-cover, but a “deep dive” into the charm, artistry, elegance, and profound theology of the monastic liturgy: from the colors of vestments to the structure and proper rhythm of the psalms as they echo the ancient heartbeat of the Church.  Take for example, this gem: “Compline represents the prayers of the just at the end of the world.”  I never knew that, and I’m a monk!  -Fr.
