Delivery Timeline

The current English edition of the Liturgy of the Hours was translated in the 1970s. Since then, the Church has canonized dozens of saints, added new feast days, and approved a more faithful translation of the sacred texts. 

After years of development, this new edition incorporates those changes, bringing greater accuracy, richer biblical language, restored hymnody, and expanded liturgical content.

Starting in 2028, the use of the new translation in The Liturgy of the Hours, Second Edition will be required and the current edition will be out of date.

Word on Fire’s Liturgy of the Hours, Second Edition features a natural full-grain leather cover with gold artwork. It is made in Italy with a durable construction that lays flat and a more readable layout. Each volume includes seven ribbons, red-to-gold art gilded edges, convenient canticle end cards, and traditional hymns.

Preorders open July 1, 2026, and we expect the initial print run to sell out quickly.

The initial volume (Vol II. Lent & Easter Time) will ship on January 1, 2027, and will arrive before Ash Wednesday (February 10, 2027). The final three volumes will each arrive in time for the corresponding liturgical season.

Again, we expect the first printing to sell out quickly. To ensure you have a copy in time for Lent 2027, we encourage you to order today.

The Liturgy of the Hours is printed in Italy using ethically sourced components from across Europe and the USA.
