Came up through Catholic Schools. Wish that this book would have been made available. Great lessons for all ages and all denominations, but a must read for Catholics.

One of the best.
I am reading through very slowly for the third time already and will likely continue reading through it as long as I live. Except perhaps for the BVM, this book is for everyone.
