Love these prayers! Terrific book!
I love the different prayers. I use this book every evening before bed for evening prayers. I find the prayers to different saints for their intercession really nice. Novenas and litanies are great too! I love having a book in my hand, instead of screen shots of prayers I find online and reading them from my gallery photos. These pages are sturdy and should last a long, long time. I;ll definitely mark certain prayers to come back to, especially for those dying or sick, prayers for mental health, conversion of sinners, prayers for priests and several others. I just bought 2 more, as my sister saw mine and loved it as well. The other I'm gifting my nephew, as he loves to pray too and has his own prayer room set up. I highly recommend this book!
