About the book: Two beloved Popes from recent times, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, offer original and illuminating reflections on the psalms and canticles of the Liturgy of the Hours leading the reader to deeper meditation and understanding.
The catecheses and meditations on the psalms and canticles of the Liturgy of Lauds and Vespers published in this volume were given by both Pope St John Paul II on 28 March 2001 and continued until his death in 2005, then continued by Pope Benedict XVI until their completion on 15 February 2006. The audiences were given in Italian and the texts used are the official translation released by the Holy See.
The texts of the Psalms and Canticles reproduced in this publication are those in use in the Divine Office, a translation of the Liturgia Horarium approved by the Episcopal Conferences of Australia, England and Wales, Ireland and Scotland, published by Wm Collins Sons & Co Ltd. The Psalms and Canticles of the four week cycle of Morning and Evening Prayer are also reproduced here for convenience.
Morning & Evening Prayer: Meditations & Catechesis on the Psalms & Canticles (2015) is devoted to promoting the Liturgy of the Hours as a prayer of the whole people of God.
