About this title

Synopsis

Once, generations knelt with these pages in hand. These prayers still move heaven. The Raccolta; Or, Collection Of Indulgenced Prayers And Good Works gathers the officially sanctioned prayers for indulgences into a single indulgenced prayers collection that formed the heart of 19th century catholic spirituality, prepared by Ambrose St. John. More than a simple catholic prayer book, it is a living map of the Church's mercy, guiding the traditional catholic faithful in daily prayer and meditation ordered to love of God, neighbour, and the holy souls. Here are structured catholic devotions and novenas for the seasons of the liturgical year, for the dying and the dead, for the needs of the Church and the world; litanies and pious exercises drawn from shrines, confraternities, and centuries of practice; and prayers for indulgences that express the theology of reparation and intercession with clarity and depth. Rooted in pre vatican ii devotions and shaped by the rhythms of traditional latin catholic prayers, The Raccolta remains a trusted catholic devotional manual for altar, home, and journeys alike. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For those discovering classic Catholicism, it opens a doorway into a time-tested school of prayer; for scholars, clergy, and collectors, it offers a source in the development of indulgenced worship, an authentic roman catholic church approved witness to a formative era of faith.
