Prepared by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Missouri, this translation establishes the definitive form of Psalms and Canticles that will gradually appear in official Catholic liturgical books. Technically precise, the translation keeps a smooth cadence especially suited to singing and recitation. The texts can also be used for personal study, devotion, and prayer. This edition is bound with a dark stone-grey textured hard cover and adorned with gold foil stamping. Inside pages have two-color print on cream-colored paper, lay-flat binding. An ideal item for liturgy directors, composers, parish music directors, and the clergy, religious, and lay faithful who celebrate the Liturgy of the Hours.

A concise theological-spiritual commentary on each of the psalms.

A Bible for study and proclamation. The Revised New Jerusalem Bible presents anew the scholarship, character and clarity of the 1966 Jerusalem Bible (the first modern English version) and the 1985 New Jerusalem Bible. It prioritises accuracy of translation and richness of tone, written that 'the message might be fully proclaimed' (2 Ti 4:17).

In this volume, John Paul II devotes himself to promoting the Liturgy of the Hours as a prayer of the whole People of God. The Holy Father provides enlightening reflections on each of the Psalms and Canticles, leading the reader to deeper meditation and understanding. As prayers, the Psalms take us through the whole range of life experiences. These reflections, originally delivered at the pope's weekly Wednesday audiences, will be an invaluable companion to those who pray the breviary or simply love the scriptures. For your convenience, this book contains the Psalms and Canticles of the four-week cycle of Morning Prayer. Book jacket.
