curtins Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 looking for a good catholic prayer book to have maybe one with those cool ribbon things in it to mark pages? any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I just got The Fathers' Manual by A. Francis Coomes, S.J. I am unsure if you are a dad or not... but very cool book, AWESOME prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abercius24 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) You're probably thinking about the [url="http://www.amazon.com/Liturgy-of-the-Hours/dp/0899424112/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_a/002-0692307-3984815"]Divine Office[/url], but that consists of 4 rather expensive books to cover the full liturgical year. I recommend that only for someone who has been involved in a deep prayer life for at least a couple of years. A more affordable and still very inspiration meditation book is [url="http://www.amazon.com/My-Daily-Bread-Anthony-Paone/dp/9992838914/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-0692307-3984815?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187503268&sr=1-1"]My Daily Bread[/url]. Very nice catechisis alongside some good spiritual insights. I recommend this book first to anyone I find wanting to begin a deeper life of prayer. Another good one is [url="http://www.amazon.com/Imitation-Christ-Thomas-Kempis-Commentary/dp/0870612344/ref=sr_1_1/002-0692307-3984815?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187503330&sr=1-1"]Immitation of Christ by Thomas 'a Kempis.[/url] Hope that helps. God bless! Edited August 19, 2007 by abercius24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in what you end up going with that is so comprehensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totus Tuus Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) My suggestion is "Manual of Prayers". At one point before I got the liturgy of the hours I totally wore mine out. The prayers are so beautiful. It includes the "Litany of Humility", prayers by St. Thomas More and many saints, an examination of conscience and prayers for Confession, prayers before and after communion, really beautiful morning and evening prayers, prayers for certain occasions... it's great. It does have Latin as well, but it's not ALL English-Latin. And you're definitely young enough to appreciate the boys' version of this book: [url="http://www.catholictreasures.com/cartdescrip/11230.html"]http://www.catholictreasures.com/cartdescrip/11230.html[/url]. For some rasons I can't find the guys version but I know it must be out there. My sister has the Girl's Guide and it's awesome.

Apotheoun Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 [i]Byzantine Daily Worship[/i] by Archbishop Joseph Raya is a great prayer book, but I do not know if it is still in print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I recommend the Pieta prayer book. Prayers and Heavenly Promises is also a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtins Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 would it make more sense to get a daily roman missal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Does the daily Roman Missal have a lot of prayers? I don't think it has Latin. At least, not the ones I have seen. Are there various versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtins Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 its got like 300 pages of prayers etc, but i dont think it has latin im leanding towards the handbook of prayers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photosynthesis Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 handbook/manual of prayers is really neat! I particularly like the prayers before and after Mass. It's the official prayerbook of Opus Dei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
