This booklet features the original office of Compline that was used for over a thousand years, produced and printed expressly for the American laity by order of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in the 1880s. It predates both the Vatican II changes and those of Pius X in 1911.

Features:

* A single invariant Psalm sequence for all seven days of the Week (Psalms 4, 30, 90, and 133), rather than the complex variable systems of the Pius X and subsequent psalters.
* Proper antiphons for the seasons of Advent, Christmas/Epiphany, Septuagesima/Lent,  Easter, and Pentecost.
* Traditional English translation, with parallel Latin text for select portions (Confiteor, Antiphons).
* Te Lucis Ante Terminum hymn translation by Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman.
