General Description:

It's finally back!

One of us at Roman Catholic Books picked up this World War II-era prayer book from a used book dealer. It could have fit easily into a shirt pocket. There is a scribbled note inside the front cover, obviously written by a young Marine. It reads: "Friday, Confession, 1630-1900."

Cardinal Farley was archbishop of New York at the time, and his imprimatur appears, of course. So do all the familiar prayers and basic instructions, and naturally, the text of the old Mass is here, in Latin and English. Contents include:

Morning, Evening and Daily Prayers
Acts of Faith, Hope, Charity and Contrition
Prayer for All in Trouble
Prayers for the Dead; for the Dying
A Rule of Life (one page summary)
Instructions for A Good Confession
The Last Gospel; Prayers after Mass
Prayers after Confession; for Communion
Benediction and the Divine Praises
Three Great Hymns; key Litanies
The Rosary; Way of the Cross
The Sacraments, 10 Commandments, Commandments of the Church
Prayers for: Fellow Soldiers, Unbelievers, Those at Sea
Short Way to Truth (explains the Faith to non-believers in one page)
Prayers for: Purity, Victory, Peace, Our Enemies, a Good Death

Buy a couple of copies for family, grandchildren, friends. A gem like this isn't only for Marines heading into battle. But what a comfort is must have been to millions of young Catholic men in the 1940s and 50s, many of whom were captured, wounded severly, or killed in action.
