MONUMENTA TRADITIONIS LITURGIAE DOMINICANAE
The Dominican Liturgical Heritage
After the Second Vatican Council, the Dominican Order adopted, for the most part, the revised books of the Roman Rite, especially the Missal and Liturgy of the Hours. It was always intended, however, that the great tradition of the Order's chant would continue to enrich our celebrations.
Moreover, especially after the motu proprio of the Holy Father, Summorum pontificum, there is always the possibility of celebrating - with the permission of the Prior Provincial,
as outlined in the rescript of 1969 - the Dominican Rite as it was before the adoption of the Roman Missal, Breviary and other rites.
On this page we have collected, in pdf format, many of the liturgical boooks of the Order's tradition ne pereant.
I am indebted to Fr Augustine Thompson, O.P., and his excellent site: dominican-liturgy.blogspot.com For making these texts available.
