Directory of Devotional Prayer
"Many generations of Holy Cross religious used a special book of prayers, some each day and others on special occasions. I am pleased that Ave Maria Press is making this important book available to members of the general public. I hope that they, along with our Holy Cross religious, will discover prayers that may assist them in the development of their own spiritual lives."--Rev. Richard V. Warner, C.S.C., Superior General, Congregation of Holy Cross"It is a pleasure for us in Holy Cross to share with all the faithful this rich treasury of our devotions and prayers. Not only do they reveal the history of Holy Cross spirituality, they allow others to join us in praying as we in Holy Cross have prayed for over 170 years. The reader will see clearly the central role of Divine Providence, the Eucharist, and the Cross as our Hope, that are so deeply rooted in our spirituality. We invite all who possess the Holy CrossDirectory of Devotional Prayerto join us in praying the same prayers that were prayed by all those in Holy Cross in whose footsteps we follow, including St. Andre Bessette, C.S.C., our first Holy Cross saint."--Rev. David Tyson, C.S.C., Provincial Superior, United States Province of Priests and Brothers"I recommend this book to all who know Holy Cross so that they can share in our spiritual heritage and be companions with us in our journey to holiness."--Br. Thomas A. Dziekan, C.S.C., Vicar General, Congregation of Holy Cross"With thisDirectory of Devotional Prayer, the Holy Cross priests and brothers continue their great tradition of inviting lay men and women to unite with them and with the Church in prayer. These devotional prayers, suited for all different moments of our walks with the Lord, can help any follower of Christ to 'pray unceasingly.'" --Rev. Andrew Gawrych, C.S.C., Coeditor ofThe Cross, Our Only Hope
