Little Offices of the Passion

This book gathers two short yet moving Offices of the Passion, written by St. Francis of Assisi and St. Bonaventure—two spiritual giants of the medieval Church.

Inspired by the Books of Hours once used by ordinary believers, these Offices help structure the day around Christ’s Passion. St. Francis begins with the Agony in the Garden, full of his trademark love for Christ’s suffering and creation. St. Bonaventure starts at Christ’s imprisonment, offering a more traditional path through the Passion.

Whether you're new to daily prayer or steeped in devotion, these Offices offer a simple, powerful way to join the saints in meditating on the Cross—and to draw closer to Our Lord.
