User:Pbritti/archived/Divine Worship: Daily Office

The Divine Worship: Daily Office is the series of approved Divine Offices for the Anglican Use personal ordinariates in the Catholic Church. Derived from multiple Anglican and Catholic sources, the Divine Worship: Daily Office replaces prior Anglican Use versions of the Liturgy of the Hours.

There are two editions. The North American Edition is meant for use by Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter in the United States and Canada. The Commonwealth Edition is for use by the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham in the United Kingdom and Ireland as well as the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross in Australia, Japan, and Oceania.

History
Multiple attempts to create an Anglican Use form of the Divine Office had been attempted prior to the approval the Divine Worship: Daily Office. The Book of Divine Worship of 2003 closely followed the Mattins and Evensong practices of the 1979 Episcopal Church Book of Common Prayer. The Customary of Our Lady of Walsingham, printed by Canterbury Press in 2012, more closely follows Catholic practices. Additions included Sext, Terce, and None.

North American Edition
The Divine Worship: Daily Office: North American Edition is printed by Newman House Press and was released in late 2020. The first printing of 500 books quickly sold out to parish communities, with further printings being announced shortly after. The first editions were bound in cloth hardcover and printed in red and black text.

The psalm translation is that of the Coverdale Psalter, the same translation used in many Anglican Books of Common Prayer including the 1662 of the Church of England and 1928 of the Episcopal Church. Collects and other excerpts come from the Divine Worship: The Missal.

Commonwealth Edition
The Divine Worship: Daily Office: Commonwealth Edition is printed by the Catholic Truth Society. Announced in 2020 and following the high demand for the North American Edition, CTS attempted to determine interest for release in 2021.
