THE HOURS OF OUR LADY #23

We continue with our posting of the Introduction to The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary:

 

(The translation of the Psalms and the brief introductory comments on the Psalms of this Little Office of the Blessed Virgin are taken largely from: The Psalms and Canticles by George O'Neill, S.J. [Bruce Publishing Co. 1937.] The late Father O'Neill's work has long been out of print.)

INTRODUCTION

 

"Those who attack the Psalmist, or those who oppress the chosen people of old, are but types of those who persecute the Chosen One of God, whilst He was on earth in the flesh, figures of all the powers of evil opposed to God's spiritual Kingdom and harassing the individual soul struggling for sanctity, in all ages." 

(Simon, O.S.M., Scripture Manual).
