A blend of esoteric Jewish and Christian streams converged in Pasqually's system, known today as Martinezism. He claimed to act under the direction of an anterior order, and "teachers and faithful friends" who had taught him. The spiritual devotions of the temporal Catholic Church were also of paramount importance to Pasqually, who required his adepts to recite many of its canonical Hours.
Chief of these was the Office of the Holy Spirit, which by Pasqually's time had become truncated into a short Book of Hours. This book includes a full medieval manuscript of a rare thirteenth century Office of the Holy Spirit, as well as the shorter Hours printed in 1725. Both are transcribed and translated.
The book is available in a full-colour hardcover and in black & white paperback.
"Beautifully produced and thoughtfully laid out and illustrated, this book should be of great interest both to liturgical historians and those who are interested in the Order of Élus Coëns, but till now have found the office of the Holy Spirit an elusive document." Piers Vaughan, Primate of the Apostolic Church of the Golden & Rosy Cross
"M.R. Osborne is an exceptional writer on the topic of Pasqually, reintegration and other Martinist topics. This latest gem is an outstanding addition to my library." Amazon 5-Star review
Divine Office of the Holy Spirit
Delve into the rich spiritual tradition of the "Office of the Holy Spirit" and its connection to the enigmatic 18th-century mystic Martinez de Pasqually. The book unveils a rare treasure from medieval Christianity that nearly vanished from history but found new purpose in Pasqually's esoteric Christian practice.
The book reproduces this forgotten divine office - a structured prayer system rooted in the psalms and traditionally observed at specific hours throughout the day. The conversation explores how Pasqually, a Catholic of Portuguese-Jewish origin, incorporated these devotions into his "Élus Coëns" system, emphasizing spiritual reconciliation through prayer. This beautifully illustrated volume, featuring both original Latin texts and English translations, offers not just historical insight but a practical devotional resource for Christians of all backgrounds seeking to deepen their connection with the Holy Spirit through this ancient contemplative tradition.
