Blessed Sacrament Prayerbook

The first thing that made me buy this prayer book is the author/compiler. You simply cannot go wrong if it has Father Lasance's name on it. Not just when it comes to missals and prayer books, but to any of the treasures of spiritual reading he authored in his holy life. The book itself is chock full of a veritable storehouse of prayers, for any and all occasions, times, and need. It also contains the Order of the Mass and a wealth of different devotions, from Our Lord and Our Lady under their various glorious titles, to the angels and saints, and for our suffering brethren in Purgatory. The ONLY downside to this book is the print size. It is REALLY, REALLY small. I would suggest using a magnifying glass if you have to, it is that good. I'll use my readers. Lovely book, sturdy cover, very nice gilding of page ends. Highly recommend.

Quite possibly the most comprehensive (pre-Vatican II) Prayerbook of the Roman Catholic rite. This is a veritable treasure-trove of prayers, containing both familiar standbys, and many that one would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.At 1227 pages, it is remarkably compact and easy to carry.As other reviewers have pointed out, the font is rather small. The serif and "Olde English" style fonts range from (approx.) 3pt to 8pt. Please see the two photos I have provided for a sampling.Nonetheless, although I often wear drugstore reading glasses (+1.75), I am able to read this prayerbook in its entirety without the glasses, except under low light conditions.As this Prayerbook's title implies, it is exceptional for use during Eucharistic Adoration.There are also so many other occasions and situations where the prayers in this book excel.Since receiving my copy I've constantly had it within reach to read and study when I have a few spare moments.There is so much rich material here, "exhaustive" is the best way to describe it.Fr. Lasance's "The Blessed Sacrament Prayerbook" will undoubtedly become a lifelong companion.The only reason I rated this 4-stars is due to the less than stellar print quality.The reprint was very clearly done by photo-reproduction/duplication of the original vs. being completely reset.While I dearly love Loreto Press and the great Catholic classics they bring us, I would really like to see this book in the hands of the reprint masters, Baronius Press.This has become one of my favourite Prayerbooks and is one that I highly recommend to anyone.It is the perfect Prayerbook for one's daily edification, and a sturdy classic that will make a beautiful, cherished keepsake for future generations.Thank you,-CC, Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer

First off, the design of this prayerbook is absolutely gorgeous: smooth black leather, gold accents, gilded pages, red ribbon bookmark. The prayers themselves are beautiful and there are plenty for every need and occasion. As the title says, this prayerbook is especially useful for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The print is small, but with the right reading glasses that's not a problem. Perfect prayerbook, and a great purchase!

I bought this for my husband. He was always talking about how he wished he had his old prayer book from when he was a child. Well now he does.

I received this wonderful book as an Easter present. I have always liked Father Lasance, but I didn't know such a great book existed. I could not put it down. Many, many daily prayers, the mass, indulgences, holy hour prayers, on and on. I am so glad to see Amazon selling it. It is not easy to find. This is a must for Catholics, especially those who are traditional. One of the reviewers here said the print was very small. I did not find that the case at all. It's about the same size as the print in any missal I have used. This is a wonderful First Communion or Confirmation present. I have already sent it to a nun friend of mine. 5 stars!

I had read it before when I did holy hour. Then someone took it from my church. I missed it and now I could afford it. So great for anyone who goes to blessed sacrament for holy hour. I love it

Extensive number of prayers and adoration hour models, some repetitive, and overall slightly disorganized. Nevertheless a worthy book of traditional pre Vatican 2 prayerlife.

This is a traditional book of prayers before the Blessed Sacrament. I love it!God bless, Charity and Grace

Excellent content, great quality binding. Very readable font, although the first letter of paragraphs takes a little getting used to recognising.Purchased from Paper Cavalier who were very expensive for this book. Other retailers outside Amazon are better priced.
