Book Review: 200 of the Church's most stirring prayers
Summary: 5 Stars

Originally published in a pocket-sized 336 pages, the book has sold over 50,000 copies since its first printing in 1982. Although the expanded edition is now 600 pages, the book is inimally larger in size and thickness than the original since it is printed on Bible paper. In the new edition one can find something to suit almost any taste or occasion. It contains short sections summarizing Catholic doctrine, the Order of Mass in Latin and in English on facing pages, as are many of the prayers, and devotions to the Trinity, Christ, Mary and Joseph. The section on Catholic doctrine covers ways to live a better spiritual life through prayer and habitual spiritual practices. Especially handy is a table showing the holy days of obligation for many English-speaking countries. The Order of Mass encompasses the general liturgy, rubrics, and prefaces for various seasons, feasts and memorials, as well as a large number of prayers that can be said before and after Mass.
