hardcover. Condizione: As New. 2001 first edition, Franciscan Institute, Saint Bonaventure University (St. Bonaventure, New York), 4 3/4 6 7/8 inches tall orange cloth hardcover, no dust jacket (as issued), gilt design and lettering to front cover and spine, illustrated endpapers, printed in red and black ink, beautifully illustrated with color drawings, 362 pp. The slightest bit of soiling and edgewear to covers. Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~DD~ [1.5P] Compiled and edited by Franciscan friars Laurent Gallant, OFM, and André Cirino, OFM, the volume serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and praying the unique medieval office composed by St. Francis himself. The book centers around the Office of the Passion, a personal, devotional 'Little Office' that St. Francis of Assisi structured to complement the traditional Divine Office. The core text contains 15 unique 'psalms' constructed by St. Francis. Instead of using standard biblical psalms sequentially, Francis wove together distinct verses from the Davidic psalms, prophecies from the Old Testament, and his own poetic sentiments to reflect on Christ?s suffering and ultimate triumph. The text provides sequences tailored to different times of the liturgical year, including Holy Week, ordinary weekdays, the Easter season, Sundays, Advent, and Christmastide. The editors include structured charts and layout guides helping modern readers adapt the office into various daily schedules?whether praying seven times a day, three times a day, or once a day. Gallant and Cirino offer deep textual analysis, shedding light on the medieval spirituality, metaphors, and specific inner thoughts of St. Francis when he assembled these prayers. The 2001 edition features explicit musical notations composed by Josef Raischl, SFO, alongside specialized illustrations by Marcus Lisle and Christine Cavalier. The book bridges rigorous historical theology with practical mysticism. It traces how this specific prayer cycle was utilized daily by early Franciscans?including St. Clare of Assisi ? focusing deeply on the San Damiano Cross, the Gospel of John, and radical devotion to the Crucified Christ.
