Blessed Trinity Book of Catholic Prayers Black Deluxe Cover 408 Pages (Prayers for Almost Every Occasion, Colored Ribbon Bookmarks)

Serendipity?I "accidentally" discovered this treasure of a prayerbook recently while searching for a pocket book of Catholic prayers.At 6-1/2" x 4-1/4" and 408pp., it's a bit larger than the average "pocket"-sized book, but certainly still light and portable enough to carry most everywhere; and with the incredible selection of included prayers, you'll want to do just that.A lovely book. Flexible covers are simulated black leather, with the title stamped in gold-coloured lettering on cover and spine, and gold-gilt page edges.Pages are white, with crisp printing in black, red, and blue ink on regular paper (not thin, "Bible paper"). Main body text is an easy-to-read (approx.) 24pt bold serif font.As is the case with books of high-quality binding, head and tail bands are utilized (red and gold).There are also three satin ribbon-page markers: red, gold, and green.The included prayers are a fine mixture of the familiar, traditional ones every Catholic should know, various litanies, Devotions, prayers to Saints & Angels; along with some that are out of the ordinary/hard to find...Examples: prayers for those in military service, a prayer for times of loneliness, prayer for friends, prayer for enemies, prayers for success, family prayer in times of danger, prayer for a journey, prayer for rain, prayer for fair weather, prayers for the New Year, and many, many others.The Stations of The Cross,The Rosary (w/Luminous Mysteries), and The Divine Mercy are all here along with lovely, traditional, monochromatic illustrations and line art.Unlike with many portable prayer books, there is a very nice, 26pp selection of prayers for the sick, dying, and Holy Souls of Purgatory.Overall, this is a real treasure in the tradition of the good, old-fashioned kind of prayerbook our grandparents would have used, the kind of prayerbook that is timeless: equally useful and relevant today.It took some real "digging" to find this on Amazon. It's "buried" several layers too deep, in my opinion. I hope more people will discover this gem, for it is truly a prayerbook that every Catholic will surely cherish.Thank you for reading,-CC, Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer [J+M+J]Update (02.09.15): Despite owning several handy-sized Catholic prayer books, since receiving this one, I find this is the only one I reach for, carry with me, and read from, daily now. It's value as a cherished prayer book only grows deeper with each passing day.

This prayer book is perfect for me. I like structure and this provides just that. All essential prayers plus much more. It comes with three ribbons which I appreciate. This will be my go to for daily use. I highly recommend it!

We gave this to our son for Christmas and his stocking and he is 24 years old and he loves it. He’s a devout Catholic and enjoys the different sections and the tassels. It’s an essential for any catholic and makes a great gift.

Best little prayer book I’ve seen. Completely Readable for the size. Index incomplete as it will not direct you to every prayer, but still it flows beautifully. Example Stations leads to 7 words Jesus spoke on cross praying to Jesus.Loaded with all traditional prayers. Surprised it had room for Praying the rosary, Stations of the cross, Devine Mercy… well I will let you discover the awesomeness for yourselves.One prayer I haven’t seen yet is Nicene Creed.?

It’s easy to use, beautiful and well made! I love that it’s in color too! Usually they only come in black and white, so to see that it comes in color was a bonus!

This is the first and probably the only prayer book I’ll ever buy because I do not need any others. I bought this January 24’ and since then I have been bringing it to mass with me everytime I go definitely a small price to pay for such a great prayer book. Fits in the pockets of my jackets or the pockets of my cargo pants or sometimes I just carry it in my car and when I have some spare time I’ll wind down and pray personally as well as with some help from this book. Useful for meditations such as Lectio Divina. It has helped me grow in my spiritual journey and will continue to do so. Overall a great purchase and a great book.

My favorite prayer book. I even got married with it! I read it every evening before bed. Sometimes I even flip through the whole book to pray specific ones as I need. It's very well laid out. I also bring it to church especially to pray for the souls in purgatory to give indulgences to my departed younger brother.If the bookmarks aren't enough, prayer cards are a great help.Attached are plenty of photos as well as prayers in the book related to Indulgences.Attached are lots of photos, including:- Covered- Front, back interior details- Acknowledgements and publication info- Sections I bookmarked- Stations of the Cross, Rosary- IndexIndulgenced Prayers in the book, cross-referenced from the Manual of Indulgences.Page 18 Prayer for the Deceased - partial, for souls in purgatory only18 Angelus - partial during dawn, noon or evening19 Regina Coeli - partial in place of Angelus during Eastertide (Holy Saturday to Trinity Sunday)35 Te Deum - plenary on 12/31 in mass, partial beginning and end of any day40 Church Unity - plenary during 1/18-25 mass, partial otherwise43 Prayer for the Pope - Must be prayed to earn plenary indulgence, plus have done confession within 7 days and received Holy Communion in the same day48 Benefactors - partial219 Adoro Te Devote - partial when blessed sacrament is present222 Tantum Ergo - plenary Holy Thursday, partial when blessed sacrament is present228 Stations - plenary on Good Friday or with Pontiff or in Church, partial otherwise251 Anima Christi - partial after Communion256 Divine Mercy - plenary Second Sunday of Easter259 Litany of Most Holy Name of Jesus - partial278 Litany Sacred Heart - partial298 Rosary - plenary in Church or with family, partial otherwise326 Memorare - partial331 Magnificat - partial350 Guardian Angel - partial400 Litany of Saints - partial
