Roman Breviary Help

Today I was delighted to come across a scan of Learning the New Breviary by Fr. Bernard Hausmann, SJ. There seem to be a growing number of good resources for learning the Extraordinary Form of the Mass (low Mass, specifically) but I haven't seen much for learning the 1962 Divine Office. I haven't heard it mentioned much, but Summorum pontificum art. 9 gives Latin rite clerics the general option of saying their prayers this way.

The copy that someone scanned is from the old Capuchin novitiate library in Milton, Massachusetts. Small world! Check it out over at Churchlatin.com. The book was published in 1961, which means it's in public domain unless the Jesuits renewed the copyright, which I doubt.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
