During the 19th century, there were repeated efforts in the United States to make a uniform textbook of Christian doctrine in English that all Catholics might be able to use. In 1829, the bishops assembled the First Provincial Council of Baltimore to discuss the matter. They recommended using St. Bellarmine's short catechism as a model. Finally, in the Third Plenary Council (1884), the Baltimore catechism in its present form took shape.

It is a cycle of psalms, hymns, scripture, and other readings that came into general use in the 10th century, and was so well received that eventually by the 14th century the Little Office was obligatory for all clergy. Although no longer an obligatory prayer book, it is still widely used by those who wish to draw closer to Christ and to the Virgin Mary.

It was also widely advocated by the well-known saints Bonaventure (d. 1274) and Gertrude (d. 1302).
