Traditional Catholic Prayers brings the wealthy spiritual heritage of Latin prayers to English speaking Catholics – something many are interested in but don’t understand how to experience for themselves. Familiar traditional English versions are paired with the original Latin prayers to offer a very easy reference for:
- The Prayers of the Rosary
- Common prayers for all over the day
- Prayers in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary
- The traditional prayers and hymns for Benediction, Adoration, and Exposition, at the side of additional suitable prayers and hymns (as an example: Adore Te Devote)
Note: These English and Latin sections have been revised in April 2022 to give a boost to the reading experience. All English-Latin prayers are either opposed-face pages or same-page translations.
Additionally, Traditional Catholic Prayers offers in English:
- Devotions to be prayed all over the mass (pre-Vatican II and adapted for the Novus Ordo)
- Several litanies, including five of the official litanies of the Church
- The Seven Penitential Psalms
- A quick-reference guide for pronunciation of ecclesiastical Latin
