The Origenian Breviary is the official Daily Office of the Ancient Apostolic Primitive Catholic Church (AAPCC), a jurisdiction whose spiritual theology draws on Apostolic ecclesiology, Eastern hesychasm, the contemplative tradition of Origen of Alexandria, Desert Father asceticism, and the broader Western Catholic liturgical inheritance. Its animating purpose is theosis - the gradual transformation and deification of the soul through unceasing prayer, psalmody, sacred silence, and communion with God.
Volume II contains the complete Divine Office for the Second Week of the four-week psalter cycle, under the theme of Illumination, Perseverance, and Ascent toward God. All eight canonical Hours are provided for each of the seven days of the week: Matins (Ad Matutinum), Lauds (Ad Laudes), Prime (Ad Primam), Terce (Ad Tertiam), Sext (Ad Sextam), None (Ad Nonam), Vespers (Ad Vesperas), and Compline (Ad Completorium) - fifty-six Hours of the Office in full.
The volume is complete in itself. A clergyman, monastic, oblate, or lay faithful using this volume has everything needed for a full week of prayer without reference to any other source. Front matter includes an Editorial Preface situating this volume within the four-week cycle, a condensed rubrical guide providing all practical instructions needed to pray the Hours, and a thematic introduction to Week II and its spiritual character. Those coming to this volume for the first time are directed to Volume I for the full theological introductions, canonical documents, and Master Liturgical Calendar that undergird the entire Breviary.
As in Volume I, three levels of observance are recognized and provided for: full monastic observance of all eight Hours; a clerical observance of Matins or Lauds, Vespers, and Compline with one or more Day Hours; and a minimum observance of Lauds and Vespers intended for lay faithful in ordinary life.
Published under the authority of the Most Reverend Kenneth J. Canterbury, Presiding Bishop, Schola Origenis.
