A book of prayers
The prayers the Church has said for centuries, each on its own page for quiet reading — and, at the end, a small gathering of household petitions for the troubles the old manuals never quite got around to. Adjust the text size on any page; star the ones you return to.
Several of these — the Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Glory Be and the Salve Regina — are the prayers of the Rosary, where they are set in the order they are prayed, a plate to every mystery.

The Daily Prayers
The prayers a Christian is expected to know by heart — the ones taught at a mother’s knee and said again at the last.
To Our Lady
Prayers to the Mother of God, to whom the faithful have always turned when the road was long.
The Sacred Heart
A devotion of the Carmelite tradition, prayed upon a chaplet of thirty-three beads — one for each year of Our Lord’s earthly life.
The Divine Mercy
The youngest devotion in this book — a chaplet said on ordinary rosary beads, customarily at three o’clock, and a feast on the Sunday after Easter. It is prayed alongside the novena of Divine Mercy, which leads into that Sunday.
The Blessed Sacrament
The evening service of exposition, adoration and blessing — the oldest of the eucharistic devotions, and the one still sung in Latin.
For Protection
Against the dangers of the day, seen and unseen.
Novenas
Nine days of prayer for one intention — the oldest shape of Christian asking, after the nine days the apostles waited between the Ascension and Pentecost. Each has its own page; the whole collection is gathered at the novenas.
Household & Occasional Prayers
The Church keeps a patron for nearly everything, and grace does not consider a trouble too small to bring to it.
