Martinez de Pasqually and the Office of the Holy (1)

Created on: 2025-03-16

Martinez de Pasqually and the Office of the Holy Spirit

This book reproduces a full medieval Office of the Holy Spirit as well as the rare Hours dating from the eighteenth-century. For each manuscript there is a transcription of the Latin text and a rendering into English drawn from existing devotional texts

The introduction discusses the theology underlying the use of the Office of the Holy Spirit by the eighteenth-century mystic and theurgist, Martinez de Pasqually. It has a particular focus on Pasqually's choice of the penitential psalms the Miserere Mei and De Profundis when reciting the Office.

Reverence of the Holy Spirit was important to Pasqually, who understood that the liturgy of the Church contained spiritual power. He recognised the authority of the Church to "bind and loose" evil through the mandate bestowed upon it by Christ through the Holy Spirit. It was therefore fitting for Pasqually to encourage his own secret priesthood to recite these ancient prayers to the Advocate and Illuminator of man.
