PDF Download: Dominican Breviary From 1967

Jeff Ostrowski · December 18, 2014 ·

HOSE FOLLOWING THIS BLOG know that yesterday we released a 1943 Dominican Hymnal, and we explained our reasons for doing so. That book is often cited by another rare book which has been out of print for decades:

BREVIARY according to the rite of the ORDER of PREACHERS and published by order of the Most Reverend Father ANICETO FERNANDEZ

The book is so large, it must be downloaded in sections:

* * Part 1 of 4 • Beginning

* * Part 2 of 4 • Starting at Page 264

* * Part 3 of 4 • Starting at Page 654

* * Part 4 of 4 • Final Section

A quote from Fr. Valentine

Speaking of “nihil solliciti estis,” Fr. Valentine recently said: “I’ll bet that most people, including myself, have suffered more from things that never happened than from things that actually did happen.” Wise words!

Circle is complete

This is interesting! We have made it all the way around the liturgical year for Vespers organ accompaniments—which means all we have to do now is fill in the “holes,” such as Candlemas.

Fr. Valentine is very sick

I beg you to pray for Fr. Valentine Young, OFM, who I am told is dying (or may possibly have died already). He’s one of the most faithful & generous priests I know. There would be no CCWatershed without Fr. Valentine.
