Evening Prayerbook - Sunday Vespers, Liturgy of the Hours

The Church has been expressing its hope that the laity would come to know the Liturgy of the Hours ever since the Second Vatican Council. The problem is that the breviary is not something you can simply open and run with. It requires some instruction.

To the rescue comes Evening Prayerbook. This workbook contains vespers for every Sunday and major feast day of the year. Each two-page spread contains everything needed for each evening—no search-and-flip missions required. Parenthetical comments on gestures and rubrics are in the margins. Especially helpful to those who do not have the guidance of a priest or religious is the tutorial page, which carefully explains each prayer and rubric, and how to alternate responses for vespers in a group setting.

Beautiful artwork on the margins of each page are lovely designs, reminiscent of old illuminated manuscripts and color-coordinated to the liturgical season of each Sunday's evening prayer.

The book's foreword, by Wayne Hepler, will both inform and motivate the reader to investigate the Liturgy of the Hours. Hepler is certain that praying just one hour of Sunday vespers regularly will "be the introduction into the love affair of a lifetime."
