About This Book
The Pauline one-volume was the best book for the lay person who prays it at home. Unlike the Catholic Book Publishing one-volume, Pauline has the complete Daytime prayer rather than selections, so anyone using it had access to the entire Liturgy minus the Office of Readings.
The Pauline book had the text of the gospel canticles right in the psalter for each day, so no flipping to the ordinary was required. Pauline printed the antiphon both before and after every psalm and canticle, so again, no flipping back to the beginning.
The Daughters of St. Paul (a lovely order) made the decision to discontinue publication around 12 years ago. Maybe it was the somewhat smaller print that made this breviary less popular. Too bad...Pauline was a great little breviary, and I am extremely sorry to see it go. If you have this breviary (the binding either says St. Paul Editions or Pauline Media) hang on to it. Otherwise scout the used sites.
