A Timeless Companion for Daily Catholic Prayer
The Catholic Book of Prayers from Catholic Book Publishing is one of the most trusted and widely used general prayer books in the Catholic tradition. Compiled and edited by Rev. Maurus FitzGerald, O.F.M., a Franciscan friar and professor, this volume gathers the prayers Catholics return to again and again: morning, afternoon, and evening prayers, along with a rich treasury of devotions to the Blessed Trinity, Our Lady, and the saints.
This burgundy leather edition is crafted with a hand-stitched cover built to last a lifetime. Printed in a generous giant typeface, it is easy to read in any setting, whether in a quiet home chapel, a dimly lit church, or for those who benefit from larger print. Compact enough to slip into a purse or pocket, it is a prayer book designed for real, everyday Catholic life.
