Prayer Books and Pamphlets

Do you know a Teacher who you'd like to encourage?

All the way from coloring inside the lines to calculus, teachers have given us the tools to thrive. Where would we be without them? But a teacher's job is often a difficult one. Sometimes anxiety and exhaustion become the norm. For those in need of a little peace and renewal, Max Lucado points to the Teacher who offered just that.

Suited for gift-giving and written especially for those special people who inspire our students, Pocket Prayers for Teachers contains

In the eternal battle for souls, prayer is our greatest weapon.

In this book on spiritual warfare, acclaimed author and radio host Jesse Romero emphasizes the importance of prayer in facing our modern crises, especially for men who are the heads of their households.

He reminds us that the faculty of prayer is both a gift and a protective weapon from God. Far from a passive routine, it is an intrepid action in which we directly encounter the divine and drive away the diabolic.

Romero identifies the different types of prayer -- liturgical, adoration, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise -- and demonstrates from Scripture and Tradition that prayer is also a weapon. This idea is unfamiliar to most Catholics, especially Catholic men.

Focusing on the necessity and relevance of prayer in the lives of modern Catholics, Romero highlights:

Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, the lives of the saints, and his own experiences in spiritual warfare and the pro-life movement, Romero provides riveting examples of the power of prayer to advance the Kingdom of Heaven even on this earth. He reminds Catholics of the duties bestowed upon us at our Confirmations: to become joyful soldiers for Christ and to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).

The book also features moving testimonies of the power of the Rosary from medieval times to the present and includes reminders that, in the stirring words of St. John Chrysostom:

"The power of prayer has subdued the strength of fire, bridled the rage of lions, silenced anarchy, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, enlarged the gates of Heaven, relieved diseases, averted frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt. In sum, prayer has power to destroy whatever is at enmity with the good."

Every era of spiritual renewal begins with a renewal of prayer.

Where do we find the answers to the challenges of our time? Fr. Jacques Philippe asserts that the answers – which can renew the Church and save the world – can be found in the “living contact with the mystery of God in prayer.”

Drawing on quotes from the saints, scripture, and the Catechism, the authors “communicate the thirst for an encounter with God in prayer” and “provide the means to persevere faithfully in the practice of meditation.”

In this short book packed with spiritual wisdom, you’ll gain practical knowledge to help awaken your desire for personal prayer and truly encounter our living God, including:

• Why we should pray – even when it’s full of poverty, pitfalls, and dark nights
• Awakening your thirst for God’s love – and recognizing his thirst for yours
• Overcoming obstacles to receiving God’s grace
• The high-stakes role of prayer in spiritual combat
• Strategies for salvaging a “failed” prayer session

Written to encourage and nourish the life of prayer, this book has been adapted to apply to anyone interested in fostering a deeper relationship with God.

Please join us as we pray for peace; the peace that only Christ, the Prince of Peace, can give.

Compiled by Fr. Lawrence Lovasik, this book contains many prayers to honor the Blessed Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Perfect for any occasion

The practice of Eucharistic Adoration is growing in popularity across the country, but knowing exactly what to do and what to say during the hour you keep watch can be difficult.

Now Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, author of In the Presence of Our Lord, the best-selling examination of the practice of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, has created a prayer book just for Eucharistic Adoration. Combining traditional prayers with modern ones, this compact volume is ideal for Perpetual Adoration, as well as private meditation and personal reflection.

With his deep love for the Blessed Sacrament and his profound sense of the sacred, Fr. Groeschel has assembled a book that is sure to enrich your prayer life and strengthen your faith.

In a very practical way, Fr. Dwight Longenecker invites you to consider how each of the events in the lives of Jesus and Mary, represented by the mysteries of the Rosary, corresponds to an event or stage in your own life. Through stories, reflections, and prayerful meditations, you will uncover areas where you may need Christ's healing touch, and learn how to take them to him in prayer through Our Lady.

Learn to pray the Rosary for inner healing and discover a new life in Christ that is radiant, abundant, and free.

Do you struggle with praying the rosary? Do you have trouble finding time, fighting distractions, or feeling like you're just going through the motions to get it done? For some, the rosary can seem overwhelming or almost a chore, when in fact it is meant to be a simple prayer--a prayer that has been available for Christians for hundreds of years. This compelling book by Edward Sri offers practical suggestions that come from the rosary's tradition to experience Jesus and Mary more in your prayer and easily incorporate it into your life. It will allow the rosary to become a perpetual companion through the seasons, important moments, and challenges we will inevitably face. These prompts will not only help those who need help with incorporating the rosary into their everyday life but also to those who are deeply attached to get their relationship deeper with the Lord.

"Offering God, a decade or two in the midst of my daily life gives him something beautiful, even if I give it without my full, relaxed, undivided attention," says Sri. "I'm giving God some space in my day and filling it with words of praise for him."

In this book, Sri takes what he did in The New Rosary in Scripture to a new level. As Catholics, we often have questions about prayer and don't know how to go about getting answers. Praying the Rosary Like Never Before: Encounter the Wonder of Heaven and Earth helps to answer those questions. Some of the common questions are: What is the significance of the Hail Mary? Does the attention given to Mary distract us from focusing on God? What is the meaning of all the repetition in prayer? Where exactly did the rosary came from? What should we think about for each of the mysteries, and whether one should focus on the prayers or the mysteries? You will also find biblical reflections on the twenty mysteries of the rosary that provide practical insights to help you not only understand the twenty mysteries but also live them in your daily life. You will learn how the rosary is Christ-centered and receive group study questions for each chapter. It only takes a couple minutes each day to strengthen your relationship with God--that is the beauty of the rosary.

Let the saints inspire you to intercede for the holy souls in purgatory!

Throughout the ages the devotions, prayers, and practices of the Communion of Saints have been offered up on behalf of souls in purgatory, the "Church Suffering." The saints' ardent desire to intercede for the holy souls impelled them to pray ceaselessly for their eternal rest.

This inspiring book shows how you can join the saints in this act of divine charity, thereby attaining spiritual gifts for acts done for the souls that cry out to us for relief.

"Over the years, Susan Tassone has been tirelessly writing and teaching about this revered tradition of praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Her meticulous research and attention to both historical and spiritual detail has helped many to understand more deeply the value of this singular devotion and selfless way of prayer. She has brought a whole new dimension to this devotion, seeing it through the spiritual writings and traditions of saints throughout the centuries." -- Cardinal Ivan Dias

Many Catholics don't believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. Rather, they see the bread and wine of Holy Communion as mere symbols of Christ's body and blood. Is that disbelief just a misunderstanding or is it a blatant rejection of one of the central beliefs of the faith?

In Real Presence, University of Notre Dame theologian Timothy P. O'Malley clears up the confusion and shows you how to learn to love God and neighbor through a deeper understanding of the doctrine of real presence.

A 2019 study by the Pew Research Center found that almost seventy percent of Catholics don't believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist.

O'Malley offers a concise introduction to Catholic teaching on real presence and transubstantiation through a biblical, theological, and spiritual account of these doctrines from the early Church to today. He also explores how real presence enables us to see the vulnerability of human life and the dignity of all flesh and blood.

"There is no problem . . . no matter how difficult it may be, that we cannot resolve through the prayer of the Holy Rosary." -- Sister Lúcia of Fátima

Champion of the Faith Bishop Athanasius Schneider sounds a rallying cry to all Catholics to take up the mightiest spiritual weapon in our arsenal: Our Lady wants you to embark on a Rosary Crusade, under her mantle, to repel the forces of evil and disentangle the vexing problems we face in these troubled times.

Unite your prayers with those of the universal Church with this profound guide into the spiritual depths of the Holy Rosary. Enter into heartfelt prayers and penetrating meditations on the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries, enriched by Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the wisdom of the saints. Inspired by the victories wrought through fervent faith and the recitation of the Rosary, such as during the legendary Battle of Lepanto, these reflections illustrate how Marian devotion has the power to restore the Body of Christ -- the Holy Catholic Church -- and foster holiness in her members.

Bishop Schneider relates that faith, moral life, pastoral and clerical life, and the sacred liturgy are all under withering attack, including from within the Church. But don't lose heart! In these stirring and thought-provoking pages, rooted in our rich traditions, His Excellency urges believers to unite in imploring Our Lady to intercede for a new era of saintly popes and holy leadership to safeguard, renew, and uplift the Faith.

Offering an inspiring vision of hope and restoration, Salve Regina is a spiritual treasure for those seeking deeper devotion, fresh insights into the lives of Jesus and Mary, and a pathway to grace in these times of upheaval. This potent book also includes a Prayer to Plead for Holy Popes and a Litany to the Child Jesus.
