“In vocal prayer we go to God on foot. In meditation we go to God on horseback. In contemplation we go to God in a jet.” – Venerable Fulton Sheen
The latest edition of Popular Prayers – which was first published by the Carmelites in 1971 – is now available. This very handy A6 paperback includes many popular prayers, including morning and night prayers, prayers for the sick, prayers for our home, for study, and much more.
The book also includes two fantastic reflections from Carmelite friars, Br. Paul de Groot, O.Carm and Fr. Gerard Walsh, O.Carm. This new edition has been designed and edited by Mr Matthew Betts.
This beautiful book can be purchased at the shop in the Carmelite Aylesford Priory and here at National Shrine of Saint Jude or on our online shop.
