Catholic Book of Prayers: Popular Catholic Prayers Arranged for Everyday Use [Imitation Leather] Fitzgerald, Maurus

This book is a gem. It’s nicely organized in major categories, and includes all of the commonly known, as well as an abundance of lesser known prayers. The section on the Mass is valuable for following along during Mass, as well as the Rosary and special indulgences prayers. Large print makes it easy to read for long periods. While the table of contents is complete, the only improvement I could wish for would be an index. But still, highly recommended.

Absolutely love this prayer book. It has a lot of great prayers split up into topics like Prayers for illnesses, prayers for before communion and prayers after communion. And the order of the liturgy in the book wàs an amazing help to a baby Catholic going through RCIA. It was also made well and I can see it lasting me a long time.On top of that, it was delivered a lot quicker than I expected. I will be buying more from this publisher to support their incredible work. Prayers for them and their continued mission.

I really like this book because it helps me in Mass since my memory issues. I have worn this book out; cover has gone and backing is broke since I have had this book for 10 years. I wish they manufactured it in leather cover. Best prayer book on the market in terms of layout and order.Meilleur livre de prières du marché en termes de mise en page et d'ordre.El mejor libro de oraciones del mercado en cuanto a disposición y orden.

This prayer book is easy to follow and helping to meditate

This is a perfect gift for my church ladies. The print is larger which makes it easier to read.

As someone who is fairly new to today's Catholic Church (the last time I was in was when our response was to, "The Lord Be with You", was "And also with You!" This Catholic Book of Prayers has a nice refresher to the order of Mass, the Rosary, Confession (hint: you won't find the generic and movie line: Forgive me Father for I have sinned).My minor gripes: first, the book is printed in China. That is a shame but the book itself is beautiful. The pages are thick, the vinyl cover is a nice touch especially with the gold embossing, and the font, is HUGE! I wear glasses occasionally but WOW! I don't need them with this book. I especially like the illustrations and plates. The ribbon is gold and is about 2 1/2 inches longer than the book when used. The next issue is that the Contents have a grouping of prayers rather than each prayer spelled out. As an example, the Daily Morning prayers contain 5 prayers. What are they? Well, you'll have to thumb through pages 23-28 to find the one you want. The other book I have Catholic Prayers by Thomas A. Nelson has the Morning Prayers, all 8 of them listed.The last is the pronouns, they are all modern. I favor the archaic. As an Example, the grace from way back: "Bless us O Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ Our Lord. Amen." Nice.The Catholic Book of Prayers rendition, "Bless us, O Lord and these Your gifts, which we are about to receive from Your bounty, through Christ Our Lord. Amen." It just doesn't seem to flow. I mean, it will do but it just doesn't sound as reverent.Overall, this is a wonderful little book for new, old, future, and lapsed Catholics- as well as all our Brothers and Sisters in all religions! It is a great reference of what the Catholic Church Faith is for those who aren't Catholics, you can get a feel for what we believe and compare and contrast your wonderful beliefs. In the end, we all believe in One God.

It is easy to read and understand

Good quality. Fast service

This is a classic from the Catholic Book Publishing Co., and deservedly so.It ingeniously combines convenient siaze with large print. Indeed, I would like to thank the publisher for providing such a beautiful prayer book in a font that can be easily read by seniors, children or anyone who is vision impaired. It is certainly very thoughtful of them to make this prayer book so easy to read.This prayer book can be taken to church, on trips or daily commutes, due to its compact size and the large font used for the prayers can be easily read almost anywhere.It is illustrated with a variety of devotional darwings as well as full colour pictures, mostly based on Bible themes or standard Catholic devotional practices.The actual contents cover all the basics, from the text of the Mass to the mysteries of the rosary.The only possible improvement I could suggest would be a different set of morning and evening prayers for each day of the week, rather than using the same prayers each day. These could be taken from Christian Prayer, the Church's official daily prayer book. I sincerely hope that the publisher will consider this change.Very few prayer books combine the many qualities to be found in this one.

The most easy to read prayer book you will ever come across, it’s so beautiful inside with its yellow bookmark ribbon, large printed letters and colourful illustrations that make it enjoyable and lovely, “especially for elderly people who’s sight may be declining”.The vinyl edition gives it the brown leather look and great protection for the pages, and it will fit into any small handbag or large coat pocket.Beautiful gift bought for my great aunt along with a mother of pearl rosary to cheer her up in hospital as she can’t make chapel.Absolutely would buy this again.

It's a well designed prayer book. Very good for practical useage. Well bound, flexible and contains the necessary collection of prayers👍

I love it,i recommend . Very clearly written

It’s just like the one I’ve had for years that was falling apart. Perfect.
