"A key to obtaining many rich graces and blessings....". I was given this book from my mother at a very young age and have kept it close to me since. A must have! I love the fact that the prayers I was taught from my Baltimore catechism in my early learning years are worded the same way. Void of the changes from the thees to the yous and what not. With all the different ways developed to say "The Memorare" The act of contrition, even the "Our Father", this book lists the prayers in the "traditional" manner.

This is my all time favorite prayer book. It contains prayers for many different occasions you face in life. I have given copies and recommend it to anyone interested in a solid collection of a variety of wonderful prayers and concise explanations on the efficacy of them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THIS is a treasure!!! I have read the whole entire little book, but I’m definitely not finished because I will be continually reading and referring to things in it for the rest of my life. I absolutely love this book!!! 💜💜💜

🖍️ Nicely organized Catholic prayers and novenas. Beautiful traditional illustrations, too. Note that the original Mysteries of the Rosary are included (not the added-on Mystery by Pope John Paul II.)

📕 Read from my private library.

This was a fantastic little book of prayers. I read a few each day for awhile. The prayers are categorized well, have short histories sometimes to provide background, and some illustrations. Highly, highly recommend! I will be keeping it at my prayer spot to reference again and again
