About this book
“I am the herald of the great King!”
St. Francis and St. Clare both prayed the Office of the Passion, the little office Francis composed from the psalms to keep company with Christ, the Hero who came to do a great work and “reigned from the wood of a cross.” This book makes it possible to pray it today, seven times a day, three times, twice or once.
Laurent Gallant, OFM, and André Cirino, OFM, give a flowing new translation of the fifteen psalms with Francis’ Marian Antiphon, music for chanting them by Josef Raischl, OFS, illustrations by Marcus Lisle, and a full commentary on the office and its themes.
“To drink daily from this Franciscan spring has been an enrichment and a privilege.” — Frances Teresa Downing, OSC, from the Preface
