Good traditional prayer books?

    • Hello I was wondering if you guys knew of any good traditional prayer books. I would like one that has some prayers that have some indulgences attached too. I feel like getting a prayer book to enhance my prayer life and because I have been making a good amount of money from my part time job because I am not paying taxes yet and material things have little worth to me at the moment.

    This website has a number of prayerbooks.  The Racolta (on page 2) is a book of indulgenced prayers.

    • I will second the "Blessed Be God" (Fathers Charles Callan, O.P and John McHugh, O.P. recommendation.  Another one to look at would be "My Prayer Book, Happiness in Goodness" by Father F. X. Lasance.

    In my time as a traditional Cahtolic, one of the most popular prayer books is this one, the Pieta Prayer Book.

    Fifty or sixty years ago this was a good book when Harry and Lillian Faulhaber with Tom Zimmer (the hermit of Loreto) first published it. Sadly it was never dated nor copyrighted and when it achieved great success all and sundry started reproducing it with additions (Divine Mercy) and deletions. After Harry's death Lillian continued to print it but by 2000 many others were improving it.  As an example, if you have a copy, compare the prayers for the dying with the original prayers taken from the Rituale Romanum and Blessed Be God found here.

    https://www.cathinfo.com/the-sacred-catholic-liturgy-chant-prayers/prayers-for-the-dying-recently-deceased/

    My Prayer Book by Father Lasance is the BEST all round prayer book ever compiled.  Every Catholic should have a copy of this book.  Actually EVERY prayer book by Father Lasance  is top notch Catholic.

    • Key of Heaven but I don’t know if it’s still in print, used book stores maybe! Old missal’s usually have good prayers in the back of them.

    • Wow, the Precious Blood Sisters.  In Ohio they were known as the Adorers of the Precious Blood.  The Confraternity of the Precious Blood, has many prayer books and again the older the better. As for the Pieta Book, IMO it is to modern.

    • Yes Songbird, they were known by that name in Canada too.  
    The BEST book they ever publish was The Precious Blood Our Key to Heaven.  I have a copy and have searched everywhere, including contacting them both here and in New York but can't find more copies.
    In one of their books they list their daily schedule and I was happy to see they perform the Stations of the Cross EVERY day at 3 o'clock.

    • Miseremini:  The Precious Blood Our Key to Heaven sounds so wonderful!

    A friend of mine had a book of the Precious Blood of 208 pg copied for me.  It is full of Mass, novenas, prayers, chaplet stations of cross you name it it has it.

    When it was copied, I see no title!    One of the first pages begins "Flowers" From the Garden of the Precious Blood. Imprimatur: 1940  

    My friends mom from NY had this book and gave it to her daughter who made the copies for me and put it in a spiral with covers.  I was in tears when she gave it to me.

    So, I don't know the title. The book appears to have been 7 inches by 3-4 inches.

    Anything of the Precious Blood means a lot to me.  My great-great uncle Fr. Rudolph Stoltz was ordained in 1907 of St Charles Seminary, in Carthegenia Ohio.  He died in 1944.  I visited Carthagena in the year 2000.  I saw the destruction that new order did to the place,  tears!  My mom had no tears. She went along with the changes of the new order. We did not get along.  My mom wanted to know why her great uncle wanted to be a priest.  I told my mom we would pray for an answer.

    I thought oh yeah, how after almost 60 years.  We got the answer straight from him.  My mom found a letter from him dated May 28, 1905. Dear Herman, (Fr. Stoltz nephew).  He said, I understand you are going to receive your First Holy Communion........be sure to pray for your vocation, for when I prayed for my vocation, I was given a strong inclination to study for the priesthood.

    My mom's birthday May 28, 2001 was when I saw and read the letter!
