THE LITTLE OFFICE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Join with me in a Prayer of Praise


MONDAY - IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

The Little Office of Mary began as an office of the Common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is found in the Roman Breviary and was used on the feasts of Mary. In the Middle Ages the Little Office of Mary was considered a votive office. Just as there existed a votive Mass for the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday, a votive office for Mary also existed.
