| In the Anglican church there is a small book that consists of only the daily prayer service- it is called the book of hours. There are readings from it for morning ,noon and night) mainly it is taken from the book of common prayer but easier to carry around in a purse- does the church have something similar, also I noticed that everyone uses the misselette at church- does anyone own a missel and if so do they uses them at church?

| There are many types of prayer books and missals available. Your best bet would be to visit a religious book store. If that's not possible, you can check the online sites such as GetFed, Aquinas and More, Catholic Answers Store, and of course Coming Home Resources. Or you can look at Amazon for missals and daily prayer books.

| I'll jump in here, though I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for. I read "Magnificat" every day. It's sort of a magazine, but not really. Only in form, not content. It has some articles and prayers at the front and back, but the inside is the liturgy of a daily morning and evening prayer time and also the liturgy of the Mass for that day. It has hymns, psalms, prayers, the daily Scripture readings, devotions, short articles about a saint. It's packed! Each month's issue is over 400 pages, but it's tiny! Easy to fit in a purse. Beautifully done. I can't praise it enough, at least for what it's done for me and how it feeds me every day. It's at magnificat.com if you want to check it out.

| I use Christian Prayer, the smaller one-volume Liturgy of the Hours. It includes Morning, Daytime, Evening, and Night Prayer, and also some of the Office of Readings and a selection of hymns. I love starting the day with Morning Prayer and ending it with Evening or Night Prayer. Here is the Christian Prayer book I use (I got it from my local Catholic Bookstore).

Many excellent suggestions here. One other resource I use is a prayer book called
Catholic Prayer Book by Father John Hardon, SJ. it has many many standard prayers and a real treasury of traditional prayers. It has litanys and meditations, Stations of the Cross. Prayers before and after Mass, Confession, Communion. I think it is the best old fashioned prayer book out there. It is available at http://www.lifeeternal.org

There is also "Shorter Christian Prayer." This is the shorter version of the one-volume "Christian Prayer." I think the Benedictines publish their own book of morning, evening and night prayer too.
I started with "Christian Prayer" and now use the 4-volume Liturgy of the Hours. I moved the Office of Readings to noon though, when I am more awake and can understand the readings better! The patristic reading can be slow going.
There is also a book called "The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary."
