While many Catholics are familiar with the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin as it has been prayed by the Carmelites, or by the diocesan clergy, this Little Office was specific to the Dominican Order, and is ordered in a manner peculiar to the Order. This edition is bi-lingual, Latin and English to enable those who know Latin but not fluently, to have a translation near at hand, while enabling those who already pray the Little Office in English to lear the original Latin.
