This is a good book on spiritual motherhood and the vocation and importance of praying for priests and their ministry. The author draws from Scripture, saints, scholars, tradition, and offers her own prayers and insight.

I would particularly recommend it to those who feel called to spiritual motherhood and intercessory prayer.

Review

This book is the perfect tool to aid those of us in the laity to pray for our priests . She also stresses how much priests need all of our prayers, respect , and admiration for their great sacrifices and gifts to us and to all the Church.

[Sister Ignatia]

This book explains a key, but often forgotten necessity to the New Evangelization - prayer for priests. It will change how you think about the priesthood.

[Fr Paul Gros]

Great book on the absolute importance of spiritual motherhood and the need to pray for priest for the New Evangelization. I am convinced that the renewal of the Church will come through the renewal of the priesthood.

well written and organized, I just struggled to read it.

This is a great book for any woman who feels a particular call to pray and offer sacrifices/penances for priests. I only say "for any woman" because spiritual maternity of priests is a very important call in the life of the Church. However, I would really say that any person who feels called to learn more about the power and necessity of praying for priests should read this book and consider using the devotions considered therein.
