Prayers and Heavenly Promises, by Joan Carroll Cruz
This little book is a collection of the most beautiful and powerful old prayers and practices of the Catholic Church. I'veowned it for many years and go back to it frequently to the point of it falling apart. It has changed my life like no other! I carry it with me at all times. I'velost count of how many I'vegiven away to family and others. I'm here today to order MORE to leave in the back of churches. I wish that everyone reading this would purchase this small booklet!

My constant companion prayer book
Since the mid-1990s, I have carried this gem of a prayer book with me. It helps me prepare to receive the Eucharist, to do the Stations, to prepare for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and to pray the Padre Pio Novena for my family. It's an indispensable part of my prayer life.

Just beautiful
This small book now sits on my night table and in my car. The beautiful collection of traditional Catholic prayers starts and ends my day and travels with me into church for additional meditation before and after Mass, I always have a book at the ready. I have my favorite prayers in this book but really enjoy finding other prayers I am not familiar with. I just ordered a huge stack of this precious little book to give as Christmas gifts to all my Catholic family and friends - best gift ever I think.

So much grace for so little effort¶ the generosity of God
I fell in love with is book so long ago that I dont remember. The illustrations in the paper edition are beautiful and illuminating. I have given many copies to friends and family, some of which I have seen extremely well worn after even a year or so. (Mine lasted longer.) Promoting the devotion to Our Ladys Dolors alone has eternal benefits. So far, I have given out tens, and possibly close to a hundred, a few a year. Some to new converts, to a lady crying in church, to tourists, friends, families, and recently, accidentally to a very prayerful lady, who reminded me she had just received one a week or so before, so I suggested passing it on to a friend - it turned out her sister had cancer¶ Its just a clear reminder of how very much God does for us, for the tiniest efforts.
