Excerpt from Lyra Catholica: Containing All the Breviary and Missal Hymns, With Others From Various Sources; Domine, Dilexi Decoerem Domus Tu?; Burns Oates
"The Breviary Office of the Church," remarks the reverend Author of the Catholic Choralist, "is, next to the august Sacrifice of the Altar, the most acceptable tribute of praise that man can offer to his Maker; and although, by reason of their various secular avocations, the laity are not bound, like the clergy, to its recital, yet that portion of it which includes the Hymns and Canticles might be frequently, if not daily, recited by them, with great spiritual benefit and fruit. Thus, besides the happiness of uniting with the Church in an important portion of her most acceptable service, the Faithful would become daily more and more enlightened on the sublime truths and mysteries of Religion, and furnished with the most pathetic and edifying subjects of instruction and meditation."
