The Shorter Office of Our Lady
Hello,
I recently finished formatting an Abridged Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and I have titled it “The Shorter Office of Our Lady.” The contents of it are drawn from a 1911 Anglo-catholic translation of the 1888 Roman Use Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, an 1869 Anglo-catholic translation of a “Paris Use” Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Fr. Caswall’s Lyra Catholica.
Referencing the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception for structure, I have reduced the contents of each office. This was made in an attempt to provide a brief Marian devotion that can be prayed in conjunction with the Divine Office's hours of prayer.
I have uploaded a printable booklet of the Office online; it is available on the “Documents I’ve Made Page” page of my substack as well as the Patrimony Treasures Website. I’m interested to hear what people think of it as I might include it in a future publication.

What is the origin of the decalogue in the BCP?
How did it make it to the liturgy of the ordinariate and how was it composed originally?
