I love the prayers against the 7 deadly sins including those that call on the times Jesus has shed His blood for us. It includes a complete guide to the sacraments and other rites in the Church. Can&#039;t go wrong with this on your prayer table. Would make a beautiful gift for anyone.

A Manual of Prayers: For the Use of the Catholic Laity

Prepared by the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore · Published by TAN Books

Overview

A Manual of Prayers: For the Use of the Catholic Laity has stood as a foundational prayer resource for generations of American Catholics, offering a comprehensive treasury of traditional devotions, sacred prayers, hymns, and liturgical texts grounded in the Church’s perennial worship life. It was issued by the same authority that promulgated the Baltimore Catechism and has guided countless faithful in daily communion with God.

This deluxe leatherette edition has been newly typeset to enhance readability while preserving the rhythm and reverence of the original classic. Carefully curated prayers in both Latin and English, traditional devotions, seasonal hymns, and a full liturgical calendar make this manual a constant companion for personal prayer, family devotions, and participation in the life of the Church.

Designed to support the spiritual life of the laity in all seasons of grace, this Manual offers a breadth of devotion unmatched by most single-volume prayer books.
