The Midnight Service and the Hours
in a Handy Pocket-Book Form
With this pocket edition, we present the faithful with the text of the Midnight Service and the Hours as printed in our Great Horologion in 1997, in the same format as our Pocket Psalter printed in 2007.
Our Prayer Book for Orthodox Christians, first printed in 1987, includes the Morning Prayers, Small Compline, Vespers, Matins, and Divine Liturgy: all that was missing for the full cycle of daily services was the Midnight Service and the Hours.
Taken together, our Prayer Book and this Book of Hours now provide the full cycle of daily services in a convenient format for personal use
