Hi Jeff,
Yes, you may substitute the Rosary for the Little Office of the Blessed
Virgin Mary.
The following question and answer are from a MS Word hand-out I
supply with all Brown Scapulars I send out. Visitors to our web site can
get a Brown Scapular at Rose Scapular Company here.
Tell them Mike Humphrey from AskACatholic sent you!
- Question:
- What is the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Answer:- When the Sabbatine Privilege was first given, the Rosary was
not as commonly practiced a devotion as it is today. The Little Office
of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a small “office” of prayers
and readings honoring Our Lady. It is read every day, taking about 45
minutes to complete. As the Rosary became more widely used, it became
common for permission to be granted by the Carmelites for the substitution
of the Rosary for the Little Office.

Hope this helps,
Mike
