Beautifully retypeset, this is a treasured collection - raccolta - of two thousand years of the Church's most powerful and sublime devotions. They may be prayed to immense benefit, using the very words of Saints, immersed in the deepest dynamics of the Holy Trinity, the Redemptive Sacrifice, the Communion of Saints. They not only teach us how to pray, but they help to remake our modern, malformed interior dispositions in accordance with that which is most pleasing to God.
