O knihe

Excerpt from A Short History of the Book of Common Prayer: Together With Certain Papers Illustrative of Liturgical Revision, 1878-1892

Probably in the monastic and conventual life of the severer orders there was an approximation to a punctual Observance Of the hours as they successively arrived. Possibly the modern mind fails to do full justice to the conception of worship on which this system was based. Those principles of devotion Of which the rosary is the visible symbol do not easily commend themselves to us. They have about them a suggestion Of mechanism. They remind us Of the Buddhist praying wheel, and seem to put the Church in the attitude of expecting to be heard for her much speaking.
