7 Inspiring Catholic Prayer Books & Booklets
Friendship with Christ is capable. Are you needing help with your prayer life? Do you wish to grow closer to Jesus? Of course, reading the bible and most importantly the Gospel is key to understanding our faith. For Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. As Catholics, we also have the stations of the cross, rosaries, chaplets, novenas, confession, adoration, Catholic prayer books and more resources available to us to support our faith. Use them! Do not take them for granted! Many of our prayers and devotions come from a saint, Mother Mary, St. Michael the Archangel and more others in heaven. Using catholic prayer books or a catholic prayer booklet can be more helpful in deepening your faith than you think. However, this requires effort since it compels us to take a break from our hectic lives and just give Jesus our whole focus.
This is why adoration is a perfect spot to spend time with Jesus because you will have no distractions. Adoration is an opportunity for the faithful to sit in prayer quietly before Jesus’ Eucharistic presence. Bring Him your troubles. Bring Him your joys. Ask Jesus to nourish you with His love and compassion. A catholic prayer booklet can help you navigate your prayer life, but Mother Mary is one who can teach you to love her Son, Jesus.
Do not overlook Mother Mary and the beauty of a Catholic prayer booklet. Beyond our basic, classic Catholic prayers, there is more. I invite you to create a space for Jesus and Mother Mary at your home prayer altar, at church thirty minutes before mass, during an hour of adoration, or during a quiet period of prayer and reflection before bed. See which of these suggested daily devotions and prayer booklets appeals to you.
