It can be said daily, as do Carthusians and ardent lay people. Or it can be prayed especially on Saturdays, which is the traditional day of the week devoted to the Blessed Virgin. It is also suitable for her feast days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book are included specially adorned prayer plates, with texts of traditional Catholic prayers such as the Angelus, the Anima Christi, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version is intended to be prayed, and so the calligraphy chosen, while pleasing to the eyes, is also highly legible. It is divided into the Church liturgical seasons. These are inclusive and so each Hour can be prayed straight through without having to flip back and forth for the appropriate antiphons and readings.
