A Prayer Book of Catholic Devotions

William Storey brings his decades of expertise in liturgy and church history at Notre Dame to this structured collection of traditional Catholic devotional prayers, organized to walk readers through the entire liturgical calendar from Advent to Easter. The book is strongly Biblical in tone — psalms, canticles, and Scripture readings anchor each section — and was developed in response to a Vatican mandate encouraging renewal of traditional Catholic devotional practice. For Catholics who want their prayer life rooted in the rhythm of the church year, it is a serious and practical resource. The honest caveat, noted by readers, is that a noticeable portion of the content draws from Anglican rather than strictly Roman Catholic tradition, which may surprise those expecting a purely Catholic devotional collection. The hardcover format is also somewhat less convenient for daily portable use. Still, for its intended audience, this is a substantive and authoritative work.
