1975 Edition of Liturgy of the Hours Set out of date? Cathy Friday, March 9, 2012

Question:

I have a complete set of the Liturgy of the Hours published in 1975. Does it contain all of the same prayers as the more recently published set or is it out of date? In order to be praying in union with the Church, do I need to purchase a new set of books? I'm confused. Thank you for your advice.



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r)

Dear Kathy:

I have not seen any notice of the publication of a new edition of the Liturgy of the Hours. But, I have been busy.

Any any event, whenever the new LOH is published you and I will still be able to use the 1975 edition until such time as the new edition can be purchased.  I may have to use the 1975 version for some time since we have little money.

You do not have to rush to buy the new edition. Until you can afford it, use the 1975 edition.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
