Church Latin: An Aid to the Appreciation of Our Lady's Little Office

This little book is published in the hope and with the confidence that it will serve in a general way as an introduction to Church Latin and more particularly as a guide to the beauty and full significance of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. ...{The author's} intention for the present has been merely to open for our devoted religious a breach in the wall of Latin that separates them from a full realization of the spiritual and poetical beauties which are to be discovered in the Officium Parvum. If success attends his venture in this respect, he will consider his labor well spent.
