The Catholic Prayerbook: From Downside Abbey

This treasury of prayers for the third Christian millennium offers practical guidance for an increasingly busy world.

The book’s extensive range includes favorite Catholic prayers such as the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross, along with others that may be less familiar, organized under many different themes and topics. Helpful introductions and a pattern of daily prayers make this book nothing less than a course in Christian spirituality.

The book is for people approaching Christian prayer for the first time as well as for those who want to begin afresh. It will be especially helpful to young people and the parents and teachers who want to help them learn to pray in the living tradition of the Church.

Dom David Foster is a Benedictine monk of Downside Abbey and Chaplain of Downside School.
