Portús na hÉireann, Second Edition
A Book of Hours According to the Columbanian Tradition
About this book
Prayer serves as the central aspect of the Christian life, by which our faith is formed and by which we offer thanksgiving and praise. The act of prayer was central to the early Irish monastics, serving as a vital aspect of their spirituality and religious practice. ThePortus na hEireann, or "Irish Breviary, " is a Divine Office text based on the prayers and practices used within the Columbanian tradition. The new edition consists of an additional chapter that offers instructions on how to pray, a new format intended for group worship. These additions offer beginners a brief introduction and guidance on praying the Hours, while including all canonical hours' prayers as established within the early Irish church, with every psalm according to the Douay-Rheims Bible.
