Many individuals who are not members of religious communities cherish this tradition and use elements of it for their own daily prayer, and adapted breviaries have been popular sellers to targeted markets for more than a century. Over the past several years, the Order of Saint Helena, a community of women in the Episcopal Church, spent a great deal of time and energy in revising their office book. High on the list of priorities for the revision was the broadening of language to avoid masculine imagery when referring to God. This personal edition of The Saint Helena Breviary has been adapted for use by individual readers who set aside one or more times for prayer in the midst of their busy lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDaily morning prayer, noonday prayer, evening prayer, and compline based on the Book of Common Prayer, with enrichments from the Order of Saint Helena \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll prayers for the days of the week and the church year, from the Book of Common Prayer, adapted for expansive language \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll daily and seasonal canticles (song texts), adapted for expansive language \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe complete Psalter (psalms), in an expansive language adaptation from the Book of Common Prayer translation (also published separately by CPI as The Saint Helena Psalter) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComplete two-year schedule of Bible readings, with all major and minor holy days, from the Book of Common Prayer lectionary, designed for use with a Bible of reader's choice \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 638\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 9.1 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 16, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47416102518962,"sku":"9781640652750","price":80.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/296533a8d765a8527b2f601aaf6d2899.webp?v=1778396961","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-saint-helena-breviary-personal-edition-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
