Prayers, Verses and Devotions

This beautifully printed volume contains John Henry Newman's most profound devotional writings. His meditations on the Litany of Loreto and the Stations of the Cross are classics of Catholic spirituality. His prayers, hymns, and verses provide inspiration for personal prayer, and his reflections on Christian doctrine show that the source of true piety is sound teaching.Also included are the devotions of Lancelot Andrewes, a Church of England bishop during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Translated from Greek by Newman himself, these devotions based on Scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers were a primary source of Newman's own spiritual life, even long after he entered the Catholic Church.
