The Art Of Prayer : 9781453791592

The Art of Prayer is most likely the best introductory guide to beginning and advancing the spiritual life available today. What is contained in part in many other books, is summarized and laid out in an easy 'how-to-guide' for the spiritual life. This could be retitled 'How to Become a Saint For Dummies'. Although excellent for a beginner, advanced students of the Science of the Saints will find much help in this book written in the middle of the last century for modern people. St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!" We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a photographic reprint of the original The original has been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have been corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
