Our seasons are as follows...

The language of Cranmer and the psalms translated by Coverdale are associated with the Church of England. Now they enter Catholic worship.

EXCERPT: If you’re looking for a Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours) that is compacted into one book, then I would highly recommend the Ordinariate version called Divine Worship: Daily Office. This Ordinariate-version is approved for all lay Catholics, it’s easier to use than the standard Roman Divine Office, and it focuses on Scripture readings like a laser beam. If you want to become more literate in Scripture, and simultaneously participate in the official prayer of the Church, this is the book you want.
