Pope Clement VIII published on 14 July 1600 the first book to bear this name, a revision, in line with the renewal ordered by the Council of Trent , of the contents of books, called Ordines Romani , written from
188-717: A "missal", "ritual", and "Holy Week book" (Cairo, 1898–1902). The Ethiopian service books are, with the exception of the Eucharistic Liturgy (the Missal), the least known of any. Hardly anything of them has been published, and no one seems yet to have made a systematic investigation of liturgical manuscripts in Abyssinia. Since the Ethiopic or Ge'ez Rite is derived from the Coptic, their books correspond more or less to

A Ritual – "Book of Ceremony" – for the Syrian Uniats is issued by the Jesuits at Beirut. The Maronites have an abundance of liturgical books for their divine liturgy. The Maronite Synod at Deir al-Luweize (1736) committed a uniform preparation of all their books to

The fixed portions of the services are called acolouthia ( Greek : ἀκολουθίες , akolouthies ; последование posledovanie ), into which the sequences (changeable portions) are inserted. The sequences can also be referred to as propers . The sequences are governed by the convergence of several liturgical cycles, including the Paschal Cycle (movable cycle, dependent upon
470-434: A day I praise you", and Psalm 118/119:62, "At midnight I rise to praise you". Of these eight hours, Prime and Compline may be the latest to appear, because the 4th-century Apostolic Constitutions VIII iv 34 do not mention them in the exhortation "Offer up your prayers in the morning, at the third hour, the sixth, the ninth, the evening, and at cock-crowing". The eight are known by the following names, which do not reflect

There are many extracts from them, especially from the Liturgy. Martin Luther was in favor of preserving the Mass of the Church and, other than translating it into the vernacular language of
658-594: A more expansively Catholic context in which to celebrate the liturgical use found in the BCP and related liturgical books. John Wesley , the Anglican priest who was a principal leader of the early Methodist revival, wrote that there is no Liturgy in the world, either in ancient or modern language, which breathes more of a solid, scriptural, rational piety, than the Common Prayer of the Church of England.

The books of the Church of the East , all in Syriac , are: Naturally not every church possesses this varied collection of books. The most necessary ones are printed by the Anglican missionaries at Urmi for the " Nestorian " Christians. The Chaldean Catholic books are printed, some at Propaganda, some by the Dominicans at Mosul ("Missale chaldaicum", 1845; "Manuale Sacerdotum", 1858; "Breviarium chaldaicum", 1865). A Chaldean "Breviary"

In the West, the Rule of Saint Benedict modeled his guidelines for the prayers on the customs of the basilicas of Rome . It was he who expounded the concept in Christian prayer of the inseparability of the spiritual life from the physical life. The Benedictines began to call the prayers the Opus Dei or "Work of God." As
1034-618: A part of the canonical hours. By 60 AD, the Didache recommended disciples to pray the Lord's Prayer three times a day; this practice found its way into the canonical hours as well. Pliny the Younger (63 – c. 113 ), mentions not only fixed times of prayer by believers, but also specific services – other than the Eucharist – assigned to those times: "they met on a stated day before it

Pope Pius XII allowed the use of a new translation of the Psalms from the Hebrew and established a special commission to study a general revision, concerning which all the Catholic bishops were consulted in 1955. His successor, Pope John XXIII , implemented these revisions in 1960. Following

Variations include the Anglican Service Book and A Manual of Anglo-Catholic Devotion , and

Many other churches whose local rites predated Pius V's breviary by 200 years or more, such as that of Mantua, continued to use their own breviaries, liturgical calendars, and psalms, as well. Later popes altered

Their arrangement is obviously an imitation of that of the Latin service-books ( Missale coptice et arabice , 1736; Diurnum alexandrinum copto-arabicum , 1750; Pontificale et Euchologium , 1761, 1762; Rituale coptice et arabice , 1763; Theotokia , 1764). Cyril II, the Uniate Coptic patriarch, published
1974-571: The Gallican Psalter for the Roman. The Franciscans gradually spread this breviary throughout Europe. Pope Nicholas III would then adopt the widely used Franciscan breviary to be the breviary used in Rome. By the 14th century, the breviary contained the entire text of the canonical hours. The Council of Trent in its final session on 4 December 1563 entrusted the reform of the breviary to the then pope, Pius IV . On 9 July 1568, Pope Pius V ,

Wesley's Sunday Service has shaped the official liturgies of the Methodists ever since. For this reason, Methodist liturgy is decidedly Anglican in its character, though Methodists have generally allowed for more flexibility and freedom in how
